Instead of study medicine, I give time to INterpersonal skills. When we talk about interpersonal skills, empathy and communication are two important traits to follow. In healthcare, showing empathy for the patient is vital. Patients need care, and they believe in doctors that will help them to get back to normal. Communication skills, on the other hand, helps to communicate with patients, their families, and co-workers. Good communication skills can help in building a solid relationship.
