It seems that unprecedented attention is devoted to communication skills training in medical education nowadays. It has become one of the central components of undergraduate medical curricula as well as the focus of a range of medical communication skills courses outside the curriculum. Notably, the development of medical communication skills is also becoming one of the core elements of English for Medical Purposes (EMP) syllabuses today. The aim of this paper is to present a discussion of health communication, its significance in medical care and its relevance in the context of EMP training. It attempts to determine why effective communication skills are necessary in the practice of healthcare nowadays and why medical communication should be included in the medical English syllabus.
