About Health Communication: Principles and Practices

In this distinctive addition to the literature on medical communication skills, Dr. Steele reviews the literature from an interdisciplinary perspective and considers the curriculum of medical communication skills outside of the traditional metropolitan areas. He includes a collection of materials relevant to tropical medicine, the Caribbean and the Global South and draws upon his experience in designing curricula, teaching, researching and publishing in this field since.

Background and Purpose

Steele in 2011 and provides foundational and applied content in healthcare settings using learning objectives, case studies, ethical issues and discussions. It provides reading, activity and audio-visual resource suggestions in each chapter and integrates principles with practices. Health Communication: Principles and Practices provides medical students and other allied health professionals and health practitioners with a framework for understanding and applying communication skills in the context of medical education and health education in health settings.
