Teaching communication

I am teaching adults to be doctors. I find the topics taught in this course very important. To be a doctor you have to have many skills that cannot be learnt by didactic or authentic teaching.

As a doctor, you have to be able to use what you have been learnt in many different contexts and in treating different people, who need a "personal treatment". Seeing the whole person and not just the symptoms are important.

To be able to do that you, of course, have a certain knowledge but most important are skills you acquire by transformative/reflexive teaching.
