Earn patient’s trust first

The lecturers will address verbal and nonverbal techniques in social dialogue that takes place between patient and doctor in the first moments of medical interview. It is not more than one minute for the doctor to show his interest in the patient and building rapport before entering medical dialogue. The doctor should use these moments to gain patient’s trust. On other hand, patient feels reassured and can express his predicament well.
