Special issue on teaching social and communicative competences – status quo

摘要

15 years after the foundation of the GMA Committee for Communicative and Social Competences (KusK) and the Basel Consensus Statement [3], a special issue is now available to assess the current situation: How is the landscape of (longitudinal) curricula and courses or examinations of communicative and social competences in the health professions at different locations? After the call for articles, we received a variety of papers that shed light on very different aspects of the training of communicative and social competences. It is particularly pleasing that, in addition to papers from different health professions, articles on different aspects of teaching can also be presented by international teams and thus, in the best case, a broader view may be achieved.
