challenging interactions, communication skills, confidentialityAbstract
The physician-patient rapport is the basis of patient care and can have profound implications on clinical outcomes. Ultimately, the principal objective of the physician-patient rapport is to improve patient health outcomes. Stronger physician-patient relationships are correlated with improved patient outcomes. As the relationship between physicians and patients becomes more important, it is essential to understand the factors that influence this relationship.
