MATERIALS AND METHODS: A teaching and learning activity was developed for MBBS professional year 2 on AETCOM 2.3. The activities planned were an introduction to the topic, a short documentary film using AV aids, role play by the team, group discussion followed by role play by the students, reflective writing, and finally summarizing the session with a take-home message. RESULTS: The number of responses received in reflective writing was 114. The thematic analysis of qualitative responses was grouped into categories The facilitating factors were the availability of trained doctors and round-the-clock services, and the hindering factors were disrespect to patients, professional misconduct, long waiting time, etc. The suggestions to improve communication between the doctor and the patient were to listen politely and develop good rapport.
