Product Description

This undergraduate text helps students bridge the gap between being a student and becoming a doctor. The author covers the main areas where communication takes place and the difficult scenarios students or doctors are likely to encounter, and provides practical (and alternative) guidelines to cover a broad range of situations. Maguire begins with a review of basic communication skills. Throughout the text there are doctor/patient exchanges taken from the author's own work. These feature both good and bad examples of real communication and include alternative ways of handling difficult situations. Research is cited where appropriate, and each chapter ends with a brief summary and opens questions for use in classrooms or self-study.
