Doctor-patient communication in medicine and dental medicine

Doctor-patient communication is a type of institutional communication which
 distinct linguistic features can significantly affect patient satisfaction
 and treatment outcome. A medical encounter has a clearly defined structure
 that has been shifting from clinician-centred to patient-centred. Therefore,
 it is of utter importance for prospective doctors and dentists to be aware
 of the role of language when communicating with their patients. Given the
 fact that working in a medical/dental practice has become increasingly
 international, the paper focuses on the role of the English language. New
 communicative models and environments such as Computer-Mediated Medical
 Communication (CMMC) and Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) are also
 presented.
