Therefore, radiation oncology is particularly suited to sensitize medical students for this topic and to train them competently. We report on experiences with an innovative teaching project for fourth- and fifth-year medical students.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The course, funded as an innovative teaching project by the medical faculty, was offered as an optional course for medical students in 2019 and again in 2022 after a\u00a0pandemic-related break. The curriculum and evaluation form were developed through a\u00a0two-stage Delphi process. The course consisted of, first, participation during counselling of patients prior to radiotherapy, mainly on topics with shared decision-making, and, second, a\u00a01-week interdisciplinary block seminar with practical exercises. The topics covered a\u00a0broad spectrum of the competence areas defined in the National Competence-Based Learning Objectives Catalog for Medicine (NKLM). The number of participants was limited to approximately 15\u00a0students because of the practical components.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>So far, 30\u00a0students (all at least in the seventh semester or higher) have participated in the teaching project. The most frequent reasons for participation were the desire to acquire competence in breaking bad news and confidence in talking to patients. The overall evaluation of the course was very positive, with a\u00a0grade of 1.08\u202f+\u20090.28 (on a\u00a0scale of 1\u202f=\u2009totally agree to 5\u202f=\u2009totally disagree) plus German grade\u00a01 (very good) to\u00a06 (very bad). Notably, participants\u2019 expectations regarding specific competencies (e.g., breaking bad news) were also met.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Although the evaluation results cannot be generalized to the entirety of medical students due to the limited number of voluntary participants, the very positive evaluation shows the need for such projects among students and can also be seen as an indication that radiation oncology as a\u00a0patient-centered discipline is particularly well suited to teach medical communication.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00066-023-02099-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,12]],"date-time":"2023-06-12T19:01:22Z","timestamp":1686596482000},"page":"820-827","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Teaching communication skills in medical education"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"199","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7950-5647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Schmalz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annette","family":"Rogge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00fcrgen","family":"Dunst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Krug","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katrin","family":"Liethmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"2099_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"755","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-016-3597-2","volume":"31","author":"A Boissy","year":"2016","unstructured":"Boissy\u00a0A, Windover\u00a0AK, Bokar\u00a0D et\u00a0al (2016) Communication Skills Training for Physicians Improves Patient Satisfaction.
