This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Clinical communication skills training is a key element of modern medical education as it has been shown to have multiple benefits in delivering healthcare. Various factors affect clinical communication and we believe that personality is a major one. As an introverted second year medical student who has recently failed his Objectively Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) despite passing the written knowledge examination with flying colours, I reflect on my OSCE experience and try to understand the reasons that caused my failure. Methods for improving communication skills such as role plays, systematic desensitisation and remediation are suggested. Although there is one study that has shown that introverted students score lower in OSCEs compared to extroverted students, more research is needed in this area in order to draw meaningful conclusions. Therefore, a research study is suggested to look into the correlation between personality traits and OSCE results. If a correlation is indeed found, it may suggest that medical schools should provide additional support in communication skills for introverted students.

本文已迁移。这篇文章被标记为推荐。临床沟通技能培训是现代医学教育的关键要素，因为它已被证明在提供医疗保健方面具有多种益处。多种因素影响临床沟通，我们认为人格是一个主要因素。作为一名内向的二年级医学生，尽管以优异的成绩通过了书面知识考试，但他最近未能通过客观结构化临床考试（OSCE），我反思我的欧安组织经历，并试图理解导致我失败的原因。提高沟通技巧的方法，如角色扮演，建议系统脱敏和补救。尽管有一项研究表明，与外向学生相比，内向的学生在OSCEs中得分较低，在这方面需要更多的研究，以便得出有意义的结论。因此,建议进行一项研究，以探讨人格特质与OSCE结果之间的相关性。如果确实找到了相关性，它可能建议医学院应该为内向的学生提供额外的沟通技巧支持。
