Abstract

Background: The doubt in re-allocating some of current resources from holding communication skills workshops to others, we conducted this study to answer: What and how were the communication skills of residents in medical faculty? Were any changes needed to be done in educational system?

We had videotaping with an undercover cam inside a monken to record the residents' interview with SP, by written permission of exam directors. We carefully and repeatedly reviewed the videotapes, analyzed the researcher made validated questionnaires' data using SPSS.16.We also gave detailed feed back to the residents.

Results: The mean of Residents’ total score with a normal distribution was 23.62 ± 2.46. Independent- samples T-test [sig. (2-tailed: 0.441)] and Test statistics of Kruskal Wallis test (sig: 0.314) indicated none- significant difference in residents’ total score in different gender and ages.
