Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the communication confidence and doctor-patient position between medical students and residents. Methods A sample of 331 medical students and 308 residents in first year resident training who were not trained in Clinical communication skills course were investigated by self-assessment questionnaires. Their answers were compared statistically. Results The order of the different aspects of doctor patient communication skills was same in two groups
and “establish good doctor patient relationship”(4.31±0.740,4.03±0.790)
“agree on a plan with patient”(4.05±0.812,3.60±0.823)
“breaking bad news”(3.85±0.897,3.26±0.907)followed. According to the self-assessment
the confidence of “establish good doctor patient relationship”(4.31±0.740 vs. 4.03±0.790,P<0.01)
“gather complete history”(4.34±0.756 vs. 4.05±0.707,P<0.01)“agree on a plan with patient” (4.05±0.812 vs. 3.60±0.823,P<0.01)
“breaking bad news” (3.85±0.897 vs.3.26±0.907,P<0.01)
“general ability at doctor patient communication” (4.23±0.796 vs. 3.70±0.808,P<0.01)were all higher in residents than in medical students. In doctor-patient relationship attitude
residents showed a stronger “doctor centered” style than medical students(60.63±7.665 vs. 3.76±0.828,P<0.01). Conclusion This study suggested that medical students and resident had similar baseline in doctor patient communication skills. Medical students' communication curriculum needs to take into account the limited clinical experience
training for resident needs to emphasize the capacity of empathy and perspective-taking.
