Evaluation of a practical approach to teaching about communication with terminal cancer patients.
Teaching about communication between doctors and terminal cancer patients is problematic. A practical model that requires individual student problem-solving and group discussion with minimal staff involvement has been described. An evaluation showed that this model was effective in exposing students to different points of view, could result in changes in behaviour and was found to be interesting by the majority of students.
