Now you're talking: Benefits of pre-placement clinical communication skills development for first year medical imaging students
2015
Undergraduate medical imaging students at an urban
Australian university attend their first clinical placement
towards the end of Semester two in their first year. While
they often have a great deal of contextual knowledge
and targeted theoretical learning prior to their first
clinical placement, many of them are unfamiliar with the
dynamics of a hospital environment. With the increase in online communication platforms, there was a concern that face-to-face clinical communication skills were becoming a source of anxiety for students, especially prior to their first clinical placements. Given the impact of anxiety on communication, reducing communication-related apprehension was considered a programme priority. A pilot series of scenario-based tutorials was implemented in the general
radiography unit for the first year students.
