Fostering Emotional Intelligence in Hospital Medicine Education

Farzana Hoque. J Brown Hosp Med. .

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) is our ability to identify, logically reason, and manage our emotions rather than act impulsively based on our feelings about a situation. Research indicates emotional intelligence positively influences patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. Each trainee has a unique approach to learning. Hospital medicine doctors must be vigilant in tailoring their teaching methods according to the trainees' knowledge, learning ability, and goals. This article explores the critical role of emotional intelligence in hospital medicine education, highlighting its impact on teaching effectiveness, communication improvement, knowledge sharing, and overall clinical performance.

Keywords: Emotional intelligence; Feedback; Hospital medicine; Hospitalist; Medical Education; Psychological safety; Self Awareness.
