Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of the Micro Expression Training Tool (METT) and the Subtle Expression Training Tool (SETT) to help improve the non-verbal communication skills of medical students.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Teaching and assessing communication skills is an important component of medical school curricula, and it is not easy for medical students to develop non-verbal communication skills without adequate training. This study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of the Micro Expression Training Tool (METT) and the Subtle Expression Training Tool (SETT) to help improve the non-verbal communication skills of medical students.
