Status and Reflection on Teaching Design of Doctor-Patient Communication Course

The development of modern medical models has called for new adjustments in medical education, challenging the traditional approach that focuses solely on knowledge and technical skills. This paper explores the status of the teaching design of the doctor-patient communication courses and proposes six key points to enhance effectiveness. These include cultivating students’ “effective communication skills” as a teaching objective, emphasizing practical and real-world principles in teaching settings, employing a step-by-step design approach for course content, combining theory with practice in teaching methods, and utilizing the “CIPP four-step assessment method” for teaching assessment to meet the needs of training competent medical professionals and effectively improve medical students’ communication abilities with patients.
