Abstract Objective: To evaluate the communicative ability of doctor-patient education for postgraduates majoring in oncology radiotherapy, and to discuss the training mode and effect. Methods: From January 1, 2018 to June 1, 2019, clinical interns of oncology radiotherapy in our hospital (all graduate students) were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups. A total of 60 cancer radiotherapy interns were randomly divided into experimental group (30 persons) and control group (30 persons); CBL teaching model (introducing training of doctor-patient communication skills) is adopted in experimental group, and traditional CBL teaching model is used in control group. After the end of the teaching, the two groups’ teaching effects are evaluated through the combination of examinations and questionnaires. SPSS 19.0 was applied to do statistical analysis, t test and Wilcoxon were used. Results: SEGUE baseline score of experimental group for doctorpatient communication skills is better than that of SEGUE in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The CBL teaching model which introduces training of doctor-patient communication skills in the practical process in cancer radiotherapy division is conducive to develop practitioners’ good doctor-patient communication and interaction skills.
