Interpersonal and Communication Skills

Patient care requires effective communication skills. Residents are expected to:

Be respectful and establish a therapeutic and ethically sound rapport with the patient and/or the patient's family.

Be sensitive to the patient's needs and anxiety and appropriately inform the patient of anesthetic risks, benefits, and choices in a manner the patient can understand.

Effectively communicate with all members of the peri-operative team- this is essential when sharing the airway with the surgeons.

Provide a clear, concise, and legible medical record.

Keep faculty appropriately informed of changes in patient status.
