Research Interest
The research line Medical Communication has three points of particular interest: (1) General medical communication, with a focus on the exchange of information, decision making and adherence to medical recommendations. In this area we particularly address communication in oncology. (2) Communication in the domain of clinical genetics and genomics. Again, the focus is on information exchange, decision making and adherence to recommendations, but these specifically relate to genetically determined health risks for the individual and/or their offspring. (3) Training in medical communication. This research concerns the evidence based teaching and assessment of medical communication skills and professional behaviour of medical students and medical specialists.
