To investigate the effect of various teaching methods in communication skills we have developed a scientific tool (DanSCORE) based on CL and CA to measure the students analysing ability Summary of workIt has earlier been shown, that enhancing student`s ability to analyze communication precedes change in communication behavior. The course include an eight days stay in General Practice, where the student is the doctor seeing real patients and video record. These days are scattered over a five weeks period and they alternate with five plus four hour’s sessions of assessing, analyzing and discussion the videos in small groups with a peer (university teacher) and fellow students.We focus in our project on communication skills. 600 medical students are enrolled in the project. Changes in analyzing ability are qualitatively explored. We have introduced video-clips on a learning platform. The ways the students use them will be discussed as well. 600 medical students are enrolled in the project. Summary of results Will be presented at the conference Conclusionsref,C 1.Hausberg, Maria, Anika Hergert,Corinna Kröger,Monika Bullinger,Matthias Rose, Sylke Andreas.Enhancing medical students' communication skills: development and evaluation of an undergraduate training program.Published online 2012 March 24. doi: 10.1186/1472-6920-12-16 2.William T.
