RESUMENEn esta revisión se hace una aproximación sobre la integración de la dimensión comunicativa en el ámbito de la educación médica, al reconocerla como eje central de los currículos en salud y por su relevancia en la relación clínica. A partir del contexto actual en el ejercicio médico, sus problemáticas y necesidades, se plantean alternativas de enseñanza que favorece el desarrollo de capacidades y competencias en comunicación por parte del estudiante. Este acercamiento inicial, además de considerar el significado de una adecuada comunicación, da cuenta de los principales referentes globales que han servido como directriz a diferentes escuelas de medicina para la definición de los currículos. En la elaboración de estas propuestas curriculares, se han considerado aspectos como la forma en la que se concibe la comunicación desde la programación académica, si se asume como un curso independiente o si está integrada al logro de otras competencias biomédicas (de manera transversal en el currículo). Otras temáticas tienen que ver con los contenidos, la definición de las metodologías de enseñanza, aprendizaje, evaluación y la necesidad de garantizar el acompañamiento y la retroalimentación al estudiante, por la naturaleza de la experiencia comunicativa durante las prácticas clínicas y por su relevancia en la formación humana e integral. Palabras clave: comunicación; currículo; educación médica. ABSTRACTThis review addresses the integration of communication in the context of medical education as it is a central axis of health curricula and an instrumental part of the clinical relationship. Based on the current context in medical practice, its problems and needs, teaching alternatives which favor the development of communication abilities and competencies of students are proposed. Besides considering the meaning of adequate communication, this initial approach considers the main global models that have served as guidelines for different schools of medicine during curriculum development. Within the creation of such curricular proposals, aspects such as the way communication is conceived from the perspective of the academic program have been considered, if it is understood as an independent course or if it is integrated within the achievement of other biomedical competencies (in a transversal manner in the curriculum). Other topics are related to content, the definition of teaching methodologies, learning, evaluation and the need to guarantee the accompaniment and feedback to students due to the nature of the communication experience during the clinical practices and its relevance in humane and comprehensive education.

Purpose Tumor boards serve as established platforms for interdisciplinary expert discussions and therapeutic recommendations tailored to individual patient characteristics. Despite their significance, medical students often lack exposure to such interdisciplinary discussions as tumor boards are currently not integrated into medical curricula. To address this, we aimed to enhance future physicians' interdisciplinary communication skills and subject-specific knowledge by introducing an interactive series of five linked tumor board seminars within the domain of neuro-oncology. Methods We developed a neuro-oncological student tumor board using a flipped-classroom format. The primary objectives of this case-centered approach included fostering an understanding of the tumor board process, active participation in multidisciplinary case discussions, honing appropriate communication strategies, and creating personalized therapy plans that consider inputs from all relevant disciplines, individual patient factors, and ethical considerations. To gauge the effectiveness of the seminar series, we administered structured pre- and post-course questionnaires. Results Fourteen medical students in third to fifth year participated in the pilot series. Despite its organizational complexity, the interdisciplinary seminars were feasible. Students demonstrated significant growth in competence, aligned with predefined learning objectives. Notably, they appreciated the supportive learning environment and interactive teaching format, which kindled their interest in interdisciplinary oncology. Conclusion Active participation in a student tumor board can empower students to tackle the diverse challenges of caring for cancer patients within an interdisciplinary team during the early stages of their careers. The student tumor board represents an innovative, learner-centered approach to teach interdisciplinary cancer treatment, communication strategies, and ethical aspects of medical practice.
