Patient Communication Scripts as Cards: Counsel Like a Pro
Primary keyword: patient communication flashcards
Humanized intro: I once felt tongue-tied delivering a bad diagnosis. Practicing phrases on cards made empathy feel natural. Script cards aren’t rigid scripts—they’re muscle memory for human conversations.
Card types to build
-
Consent & procedure explanations (simple language).
-
Breaking bad news: SPIKES-based cards.
-
Explaining medications: dose, timing, side-effects in plain language.
Example cards
-
Front: “Explain starting ACE inhibitor to patient?” Back: “Purpose: lowers BP and protects heart; how to take; main AE (dry cough) and when to call.”
-
Front: “SPIKES — step 1 (set up) prompts?” Back: “Find private space, sit, eye contact, ask what they know.”
Use in practice
-
Keep a “script deck” for common patient conversations; review before clinics.
-
Role-play with peers using cards; swap feedback and refine wording.
