Content

In the course Behavior and Communication, which is part of the learning trajectory of Medical  Practice, we work on the professional CanMEDs roles of communicator, collaborator, organizer/manager, and  (professional) personal leadership, related to themes of medical professionalism. The subjects that are central during Behavior and Communication 5 (GC5) are ethical accountability focused on psychological issues (moral deliberation) and current events and presentations (input of case studies) by students related to literature (health psychology and sociology). It is about people's health behavior and how you can influence this in an advisory and supportive sense. Attention is paid to efficient (medical) consultation, communication skills, and reflection on one's (professional) actions, health psychology, and sociology. Communication skills (oral and written) concerning policy discussion, from informed consent to Shared Decision Making (SDM), are practiced through role-play and training actors. The last also involves dealing with the patient's emotions. Topics to be dealt with follow the cases and patient problems discussed during the clinical medicine lectures.
