Consultation skills training for specialist trainees.

摘要

Editor - The study on attitudes and perceptions of rheumatologists regarding consultation skills raised important points (Clin Med February 2010 pp 8-12). Standardised approaches to assessment would help maintain both trainee and trainer acceptability and reliability. However, this must require training from both sides. Thus, it would be interesting to note if a larger survey would still show all consultants feeling confident to provide feedback irrespective of levels of formal training in consultation skills.
