How do you practice Communication Skills for MRCP(UK) PACES? Do you have any guidance from your seniors? Do you study any video tutorials? Well for me, one of the very effective ways to learn and acquire the skills is by watching an expert doing it.
‘Watch one, do one’ strategy works well for me. I am an Asian. English is not my first medium. There are tactful and professional ways of discussing delicate subjects which are simply beyond my language ability. It is true that PACES test your ability to communicate, not your English mastery. But, you will never get your message across with below-par articulation of your thoughts.
I have watched and learnt a great deal from Dr. MacDonald in his videos on PasTest PACES CASES online revision site. His ability to defuse a challenging clinical scenario is nothing less than impressive. I truthfully think that his manners and methods are what exemplify a well-spoken, professional, authoritative Member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians.
It’s never too late to subscribe. Believe me when I say those videos will improve your communication skills by leaps and bounds.
