    Abstract:
    To improve communicative competence during physicians' consultations, we developed a computer-assisted multimedia learning programme. This programme can be used in medical education as well as in continuing education for physicians. Dependent on individual skills and needs, the system, based on hypertext links, can be tailored to expand and improve communicative competence in a series of steps. The programme is based on a manual of medical interviewing and breaking bad news. The user gains information about theory and techniques of verbal intervention. He is trained to be able to reflectively observe and interactively intervene in video-taped and transcribed physician-patient dialogues. In a contrast-typological approach to model learning, in which negative and positive cases can be compared in a problem-based concept, alternative types of interventions can be recognised and evaluated. Finally, the learning goals in verbal intervention techniques should be subject of self-evaluation which can be objectified by further evaluations.
