Introduction to Personal Development for Junior Doctors

As our society advances and matures, Information Technology (IT), medico-legal expertise, business and administrative know-how has become increasingly important. There is also heightened emphasis on the need for "soft skills", e.g. communication skills with our patients and their relatives. We support your personal development in non-medically related skills as it will help you to perform your work more effectively. 

Communication for Clinicians by Clinicians
Over 700 clinicians in SingHealth have attended this course, and 99.7% of them rated the course as useful and effective. Join the growing group of clinicians who have benefited from this course and earn 4 CME points by signing up today.

Through realistic role-plays and activities, you will learn tools to enhance your communication skills, recognize emotions in patients and deal with them, particularly when breaking bad news.

The benefits of effective management of emotions and potential conflict, includes increased patient satisfaction and improved clinical outcomes.
