Professionalism, Ethics and Communication in Health
PECH courses (1001, 1101, 1102, 2001, 2101 and OSCE Skills Lab) are designed to introduce Medical Sciences students to the principles of communication with the aim of improving overall communication in the workplace. They also seek to discuss strategies for demonstrating empathetic behaviour, as well as, adopting well-balanced and holistic approaches to working in the health industry.
