Habilidades de comunicação clínica dos preceptores de medicina de família e comunidade em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil

Objective: This study investigated self-assessment of preceptors (short version of the Calgary-Cambridge Observation Guide) about how much they apply and teach CCS, as well as about teaching opportunities and feedback quality. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 44 active preceptors of the internship and of the family and community medicine residency of Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Results: Preceptors self-assessed positively regarding CCS application and teaching, but CCS teaching opportunities are scarce and feedback quality is medium. Conclusion: Physical structure and permanent education on feedback and teaching methods, including video recording, need to be improved to expand CCS teaching opportunities.
