Soft Skills and Healthcare
Although both are highly relevant in education, education for healthcare should require much greater relevance. When dealing with patients, soft skills are what comforts them and provides them with confidence that they are getting quality, compassionate care. On the other hand, soft skills alone are useless if the technical, hard skill set is not sufficient. What are your thoughts?

In some cases they will not apply. But, a good bedside manner helps when describing what surgeon will be cutting into.
Philip Campbell
If I am going to have surgery, I am not too concerned with the soft skills of my surgeon. I want hard technical skills.
