dc.description.abstractThe research presented in this thesis describes the feasibility and acceptability of a longitudinal program in communication skills for neurology residents, and the program's design and implementation. It also explores neurologists' perspectives on communication skills locally and nationally. Data were abstracted from qualitative and quantitative sources. The results of this work demonstrate that it is possible to sustain a comprehensive communication skills program that is well-received by the participants, and that the program impacts how residents think about their communication skills in their day to day work. In the broader context of Canadian Neurology Training, it appears that few residency programs have communication curricula, and that this relates to program directors' perceptions that these curricula may not be necessary or possible. Local faculty members expressed similar views, which is in keeping with the finding that few faculty members were available to participate in the program in Calgary.
