      But I owe a correction. Student asked Q raising hard issue: does medicine have a place for people not great at communicating/reading others?

      I think the answer is yes. But I did a major disservice saying that specialties that don’t see patients routinely don’t require such skills.

          Such specialists rightly respond that team driven nature of medicine makes superb communication skills w colleagues & patients alike vital.

          Emotional intelligence universally essential in medicine. Yet I suspect people with variation in even that can have value on our teams.

          Thank you for responding to this. I believe it is important to pathologists that others understand our role, and for many, our choice. 1/2

          Did a great interview with @drjudymelinek and learned about how important communication is as a pathologist!https://medicalschoolhq.net/ss-24-what-is-forensic-pathology-dr-melinek-shares-her-story/ …

          I would argue this needs to happen more. If more pathologist voices were put out there, the idea that we are poor communicators would fade.

          I can't think of any discrete specialty that doesn't require those skills. What were you thinking of?

          But I do think many of these skills can be learnt.

          The ability to communicate with others is at the core of our practice. Without communication, we're only as good as our last diagnosis 2/2.
