FAU Good practice – Conversational skills for medical students

This video (5min 14sec) is part of the FAU Good practice series in which lecturers present innovative course concepts and their implementation. Dr. Lisa Dorscht (Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy) explains his course concept “Conversational Skills in Medicine”.

Dr Lisa Dorscht enabled medical students in the preclinical phase to practise conversational situations in contact between doctor and patient in the context of role-plays, carried out via video conferencing, in practical interaction with each other. The students were accompanied by the lecturers and also received feedback from their fellow students. Introductory videos were used to familiarize the students with the concept and procedure of the course in advance. These videos also provided a compact review of important theoretical content and models from previous semesters. Students could contact one of the four tutors who supervised the course by email at any time.

Get inspired by this good practice! The feedback from the students and advice from Dorscht can be found at the end of the video.

Original description

Dr. Lisa Dorscht vom Lehrstuhl für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie ermöglichte Medizinstudierenden in der Vorklinik, Gesprächssituationen im Kontakt zwischen Arzt bzw. Ärztin und Patient*in im Rahmen von Rollenspielen, durchgeführt über Videokonferenzen, praktisch in der Interaktion miteinander zu üben.
Die Prüfung erfolgte über das Erstellen eines Portfolios. Das digitale Lehrformat kam bei den Studierenden sehr gut an. Das positive Feedback der Studierenden und die Möglichkeit, digital kompetenzorientiert prüfen zu können wiegen den höheren personellen Aufwand auf Dozierendenseite insgesamt auf.
