Having excellent communication skills is another essential trait that thoracic surgeons must possess. You need to communicate complex medical terms to patients and their family members in a way that they understand, and you need written and verbal communication skills to communicate with colleagues and other medical professionals. Describe how you have excellent communication skills while giving an example.

"I believe I have excellent communication skills. One example of how I gauge my communication skills is how I explain a complex medical procedure to a patient in a less complex way and have them tell me in their own words how the procedure will go. I want to make sure my patients understand everything about their illness and surgery, and I do not mind taking the extra time to make sure everything is clear to them. I recently had a patient referred to me by his cardiologist, and he did not understand his diagnosis. I explained to him in simple terms what was going on with his heart and lungs, and he seemed relieved to finally comprehend the nature of his illness."
