Communication problems of medical students

Abstract

Effective communication is crucial in healthcare, as it directly impacts patient outcomes, cooperation, and the overall functioning of medical establishments. For medical students, the development of communication skills is essential, not only for academic success but also for their future clinical practice. However, despite the emphasis on communication in medical education, many students face significant challenges when attempting to convey information clearly and empathetically. These communication problems can stem from various factors, including stress, lack of training, cultural differences, and personal barriers.
