Abstract
The ability to communicate with patients in the Czech language is one of the basic prerequisities for the study of clinical medicine. It is difficult for foreign students to learn ourlanguage properly for many reasons. Therefore, based on our experience in examining patients, we have prepared this practical guide which we believe will help them to become more proficient in clinical - especially Internal medicine - communication. The guide follows the natural steps in a clinical examination. The text contains an example of a medical record.
The project "Practical Guide to Clinical Communication with Patients" was originally created by Barbora Makešová and Jan Brož in 2021 and aims to facilitate clinical communication for students studying or interning in the countries where a language other than their mother tongue is spoken. The other language versions were kindly translated by many medical students.
