Pedagogical Strategies for the Development of Critical Thinking, Communication Competences and Empathy in Managing the Professional Doctors´ Education

Abstract

The cultivation of critical thinking, communication skills, and empathy are fundamental pillars of contemporary educational management. Consequently, it is essential to evaluate pedagogical strategies that facilitate the development of these core competencies within medical education. This paper examines active and experiential learning methodologies, reflective practice, professional collaboration, and the integration of innovative technologies. Furthermore, emphasis is placed upon the significance of assessment, self-reflection, and the ethical-psychological dimensions of a clinician’s professional evolution. The objective of this study is to underscore the necessity of an integrated educational model that synthesises clinical erudition with humanity, empathy, and professional responsibility toward patients.
