Positive Outcomes and Improved Professional Experience Ensuing From Embedding Communication Skills as a subject at High Educational Intitutions

Abstract

In our ever-changing  world, state-of-the art technologies have taken over all the possible aspects of human life. The field that has been affected the most by these sophisticated technologies is Medicine. It can be asserted  that not only knowledge of Medicine, but also the presence of advanced technologies have  saved millions of lives through accuracy of the operation and detail-orientedness. However, technologies and medical expertise would be inefficient and a patient would be doomed if doctors did not possess definitie  skills to successfully  convey their knowledge and to efficienty facilitate different processes in a medical setting.  Using and observing some body language patterns, building rapport, breaking bad  news,  resolving conflicts, etc. are skills that are fostered during the Communication Classes at university. Some of these skills turned out to  also hold utmost significance  for the people who major in Business Administration because for  embarking on and succeeding in this career, communication surpasses a lot of subjects. The following article, conducted at BAU International University and Batumi State Maritime Academy , explores the reasons and the consequences of using  communication skills as a subject at High Educational Intitutions and elaborates about the primary topics and techniques that the universities need to embed in their curriculums. The results and the conclusions are based on research and surveys conducted at both universities.
