Feedback-based approach in teaching medical interviewing
Résumé
Educational feedback is a facilitating tool in improving medical interviewing skills through simulation practices. The simulated patient (SP) programme at the University of Pécs Medical School aims to provide efficient help for educators and students alike in language for medical purposes, communication and clinical courses. The constructivist feedback methodological approach ensures that students in history taking classes learn from role-playing in simulated scenarios and the feedback offered from the simulated patient. Effective assessment includes the learners’ own reflection and the patients’ non-judgmental observation on perceived interpersonal communication skills, observed professional misconduct, students’ ability to cope in emotionally challenging situations, and suggestions for improvement. Giving feedback has to be offered regularly to enable improvement in medical communication and nurture self-confidence. Our questionnaire survey of the students who attended history taking courses involved both self-reflection and instructor feedback based on their performance during simulated scenarios. The results of the study demonstrated substantial developments in relationship-building skills and self-confidence for students in post-course clinical practice.
