Abstract: Objective To retrospectively analyze the assessment of the communication skills of the first-stage skills of the radiologists in Beijing from 2014 to 2016, and to compare the assessment of communication skills between standardized patient models and scenario design video models. Methods The difficulty, differentiation and average score of the scenario design video mode and standardized patient model communication ability assessment were analyzed. The average scores of the candidates were compared and the questionnaire was analyzed. Results The difficulty of the topic was higher in 2015 and 2016 than in 2014; the distinction was best in 2015 and worst in 2014. The average score of the three-year examination was the lowest in 2015 (8.37±0.73) and the highest in 2016 (8.99±1.11). Overall, doctoral graduates have the highest communication skills (8.97 in 2014, 8.66 in 2015, and 9.05 in 2016). The questionnaire shows that the awareness rate of communication skills training has increased year by year. However, the training penetration rate for communication skills is less than 50%. About 1/3 of the candidates do not understand the specific requirements for communication skills. More than half of the residents do not understand the channels for receiving communication skills training. 87.3% to 95.7% of the candidates think that Scenario design video mode is better than standard patient assessment mode. Conclusion The training of radiologists in radiologists needs to focus on the training of communication skills and promote the communication and training methods of scenario design.
