A Simulation-Based Workshop to Improve Dermatologists' Communication Skills: A Pilot for Continuing Medical Education.

Participants reported that this communication workshop effectively satisfied its learning objectives. Opportunities to practice and improve communication skills as part of continuing medical education will benefit the clinical experience of patients and physicians alike, and the workshop may be formatted to serve physicians of other specialties. The lowest-scoring communication areas identified in this study present an opportunity to develop a tailored curriculum for physician-patient communication in the future.
