Characterization of communicative skills in medicine students

Abstract

The present work addresses the problem related to the development of an effective doctor-community
communication during the prevention and promotion of health in medical training. The objective seeks to
characterize the development of communication skills in medical students. For this, a qualitative research
methodology was used where theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and inductive-deductive.
Among the empirical: observation, in-depth interview for teachers, students and focus groups. Positive results
are socialized in students in the expression and transmission of messages of prevention and health promotion, in the self-regulation of their emotional states and to establish an empathic relationship with the population, with community agents and the work of teachers.
