Student professionalism competition 2020
In 2020, we ran our fifth annual student professionalism competition with the Medical Schools Council.
We asked students to create a teaching session to help their peers understand what our joint guidance, Achieving good medical practice, says about the importance of good communication.
We asked them to focus on one or both of the following themes:
Communicating with patients and those close to them
Communicating as part of the multidisciplinary team
2020's winning entry
2020's overall winners were Pia Zaldua, Jessica Randall and Hannah Mudd, final year students at Cardiff University. Their session wins them a £300 high street voucher and the opportunity to present at our annual conference.
Communicating with patients and those close to them
By Pia Zaldua, Jessica Randall and Hannah Mudd, Cardiff University
The winning students designed an e-learning module, which medical students can access from home at a time of their choosing. The winners successfully managed to explore the importance of communication during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
