YES!!! much needed is the Empathy and emotional connection that a doctor should have with the patient. It is not only important for the patient to feel comfortable but also help the patient to open up with information that can help with better diagnosis. ---

The question should be why isn’t Emotional Intelligence a core part of medical curriculum. ---

Yes, strong emotional intelligence often defuses tense situations, builds patient trust, and improves teamwork. But the current curriculum lacks adequate emphasis; more structured training in EI and conflict resolution is needed. ---

Yes, incorporating emotional intelligence and conflict resolution into medical education can be highly beneficial. These skills can: 1. Enhance patient-doctor relationships 2. Improve communication and empathy 3. Reduce conflicts and misunderstandings 4. Support teamwork and collaboration among healthcare professionals 5. Promote mental well-being and resilience in medical students and practitioners Including these subjects in medical curricula can help future doctors navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and provide more compassionate care. Sadly current curriculum does not have have adequate exposure towards this area.
