Popis: Medical education has overshadowed the importance for interpersonal abilities in modern medicine practice. In this work, we report an innovative strategy to teach, practice, and evaluate communication and empathy abilities, based on medical theater. This approach was based on interdisciplinary effort between Medicine, Performing Arts, and Bioethics Faculty. Development and first pilot experience results are here reported. A multidisciplinary team was established with the objective to structure the methodology where simulated clinical consultations were performed: two interviews took place, each with one medical student as physician and one performing arts student as simulated patient. Thirty students and 7 Faculty members participated as spectators. Students received immediate feedback and they qualitatively evaluated the global experience. We conclude that medical theater methodology is a developmental strategy that could promote integral acquisition of communication competences.The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-022-01551-8.
