| Riassunto: | International students face numerous challenges in both their academic and social lives when relocating to a new country for their university studies. The foreign language can have an impact on international medical students’ performance in patient encounters. Particularly in the context of psychosocial medicine, a deficiency in communication skills can negatively impact the doctor-patient-relationship. This is the first study that uses natural language processing (NLP) as well as traditional rating scales to assess the improvement of international students’ communication skills after attending a communication training seminar. |
