Important communication skills for health care workers include listening, understanding, and the ability to build trust and rapport with the patient. Communicating with and understanding a patient is complicated by things like age, situation (emergency or post-op care), culture, language, and previous knowledge of the medical industry. Each patient is unique and requires a sensitivity on behalf of the professional. The directors of a college dental assistant program and a nursing program provide practical advice and snapshots of thorough communication techniques and building trust which links to healing.
