Assessing the Impact of a Prescription Communication Skills Training Module on the Attitudes and Competency of Medical Undergraduates

Students' performance and self-confidence in prescription communication skills improved as a result of the four-week training program. However, there was no appreciable shift in attitudes. Inclusion of such modules in healthcare education would make prescription communication competent and confident for students. Additional studies are needed to determine its actual effect in real-life practice on patient communication.

Abstract

Students' performance and self-confidence in prescription communication skills improved as a result of the four-week training program. However, there was no appreciable shift in attitudes. Inclusion of such modules in healthcare education would make prescription communication competent and confident for students. Additional studies are needed to determine its actual effect in real-life practice on patient communication.
