Abstract

BORRELL-CARRIO, Francesc et al. Bologna Process (VI): learning health communication in medical undergraduate. Educ. méd. [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.4, pp.197-201. ISSN 1575-1813.

Communication is part of the clinical activity and sometimes determines the healthcare success or failure. However it has not been recognized in the Spanish curricula until recently, in the context of the so called Plan Bologna. In 2009 a new teaching plan was approved at Medical School of Barcelona University which intended to incorporate communication in clinical and preclinical areas (3-6 ECTS). In this article we explain pros and cons to introduce communication not as a subject, but as a competency, how can be integrated in different subjects and how can be evaluated.

Keywords : Communication; Teaching methods; Undergraduate medical education.
