Thematik

Today, doctor-patient communication is undergoing a significant transformation thanks to digital technologies. The rise of the internet, social media and other digital tools for medical purposes has led to acquiring new skills.

The course aims to demonstrate the impact of the internet on the doctor-patient relationship and it allows medical students to practice and apply communicative strategies with the help of simulation patients, preparing them for the communication challenges generated by the internet.

During the course, students will learn about the characteristics of teleconsultation and the health care system's response to the changes in COVID-19, both internationally and domestically. A further aim is to present current research conducted at the UPMS and introduce the results of a linguistic-communicative approach of GP and specialist consultations.
