Article Synopsis
  • The study examined two teaching methods for fostering empathy in medical students: an active role play and reflection approach (RRG) versus a traditional lecture presentation (LPG).
  • Results showed that students in the RRG scored higher and demonstrated greater improvements in empathy skills compared to those in the LPG, although overall knowledge gains were similar across both groups.
  • The conclusion supports the idea that empathy can be effectively taught, and that active learning strategies are beneficial in enhancing empathic skills among medical students, informing curriculum decisions in medical education.
