Video review: Communication skills-oriented approach for community preceptors [Analyse de videos: Approche axée sur les compétences en communication pour les précepteurs en milieu communautaire]

摘要

Video review should be done in a systematic way. By focusing on specific parts of a videorecorded interview, family medicine preceptors can ensure that residents are proficient in all aspects of interviews. Currently, video review is too often done in an unstructured way, with many preceptors unsure of where to focus their efforts.Although communication skills are taught early in medical school, clinical clerks tell me that, in an attempt to speed things up (especially during hospital rotations), they often drift away from using open-ended and facil-itative interview questions. Family medicine preceptors who use videorecordings are uniquely positioned to reintroduce such valuable interview skills to residents.
