Interpersonal (IPC) Skills Training for Frontline Doctors

Written by Jun Matsuura, Health and Nutrition Officer, UNICEF

Interpersonal (IPC) Skills Training for Frontline Doctors program aims to provide comprehensive training to frontline medical practitioners, including family doctors, pediatricians, immunization teams, nurses, and midwives. This training specifically focusses on enhancing their interpersonal communication (IPC) skills, in the area of immunization. By honing these skills, healthcare professionals will be better equipped to effectively engage with patients, address concerns, and communicate the benefits of immunization, thereby contributing to improved immunization coverage rates.

This activity is implemented in partnership of UNICEF with the Macedonian Medical Association, financially supported by USAID. Five two-days trainings were completed for up to 100 frontline medical practitioners through lectures, interactive sessions, and role plays.
