Hard skills can be acquired through education and training, but soft skills are personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with their patients”.
Chairman of Kings International Medical Academy, Dr. David K Pillai shares an ultimate guide to strengthen the personal attributes of a successful doctor.
Sense of Responsibility
A doctor’s life is busy as many lives are dependent on them. Great power comes with huge responsibilities. Sense of responsibility is generative as it requires commitment towards others’ interests. Doctors with a theme of responsibility will experience a deep inner connection. They should build a trusting relationship with their patients as it is the foundation of any influence relationship. They should take emotional and psychological ownership in treating the patients. A good doctor with a sense of responsibility will have the same standard of commitment irrelevant to the cost.
Compassion and Empathy
Dr. David K Pillai, chairman of Kings international Medical Academy (KIMA) in association with Davao Medical School Foundation, always believes, “The compassion is the hallmark of a healthcare professional. They will be able to relate the pain and problems faced by the patients.
He further added that “For a doctor to display empathy, they must put themselves in the place of the patient, which can be difficult for a busy or distracted doctor. Taking extra time to discover what the patient is going through, and learning how the patient feels will go a long way toward building trust between doctor and patients”.
Fount of knowledge
Chairman of Kings International Medical Academy, Dr. David K Pillai, feels that Physicians need to have comprehensive medical knowledge at their fingertips which must be recalled in a moment. Every patient expects their doctor to stay on top of the latest medical news and trends. Knowing the advancement in the medical fields and the treating procedure will keep them one step ahead of the contenders. This even adds credibility to their portfolio.
Humanity
The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
Every doctor should believe that Real happiness is the inner satisfaction get from their profession. They should treat the patients, not the disease. Doctors should care about the people as they indulge themselves in social work. They should offer people their assistance irrespective of caste, creed, religion, and region.
Communication skills and bedside manners
Communication plays a crucial role between doctors and patients. For a doctor to provide the best treatment, they must be a good listener to answer accordingly. Good communication help doctors connect with and understand patients’ pain and needs. Despite using complicated medical terms, they should use the common language to express their concern. Doctors should be honest with their opinion, but at the same time, they should offer hope in a difficult situation.
Dr. David K Pillai, chairman of Kings international Medical Academy, feels that being a good doctor involves the right attitude, character, commitment, demeanor, and above all, a heart of service. There is no single ingredient that makes a good doctor, but working to acquire these soft skills can help the doctors to achieve a successful career.
