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 7 (GC7) are current events/presentations (input of case studies) by students related to literature related to behavioral change, lifestyle adjustments, and prevention (health psychology). Attention is also paid to leadership and vision development concerning medical professionalism. It is about people's health behavior and how you can influence this in an advisory, supportive and changing sense. Attention is paid to efficient (medical) consultation, communication skills, and reflection on one's (professional) actions, health psychology, and sociology. Communication skills concerning conducting a follow-up conversation with the patient focused on behavioral change, motivational interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)  are practiced through role-play and training actors. In line with the clinical problems, it is being practiced in dealing with emotions and low health skills. Topics to be dealt with follow the cases and patient problems discussed during the clinical medicine lectures.
