Outline of Final Research Achievements

English is an important instrument for communication. Developing communicative competence in English is becoming a prominent part of educational programs at medical schools in Japan. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the effect of medical English courses (MEC) on medical students’communication skills. Graduate medical students joining the doctoral program were invited to participate. Self-confidence scores to perform communicative tasks in English were rated using visual analogue scales before and after the MEC (intervention groups), or before and after the follow-up period (control groups). Significant improvements in self-confidence scores to perform communicative tasks in English were observed following participation in MEC. In the control group, no improvements were observed in any of the evaluated tasks. In conclusion, MEC contributed to enhancing confidence for communication.
