Abstract
The Jefferson Empathy Scale is a widely used instrument in medical education. The scale shows the measurement of empathy of physicians in relation to patient care. This scale has been used nationwide in multiple healthcare disciplines. The purpose of this study is to see if teaching communication skill on empathy and care has a significant effect of medical students after a one-day workshop. Research has been conducted over empathy for medical students over multiple years in medical school, but little research exists about short term learning and the effects on empathy.
