Lost in translation: a qualitative study of medical students’ experiences of theoretical and practical teaching of empathy
The results describe clashes between theory and clinical reality and the efforts of the students to develop and maintain empathy in this context. To encourage students to develop empathy it is necessary for both educators and practitioners to acknowledge, and attempt to bridge, the gap between the theoretical and the practical curriculum regarding empathy.
