Abstract

The main goal of communication skills in medicine was considered to be the acquisition of the necessary knowledge for the diagnosis and implementation of effective treatment. This goal is still a priority. But taking into account the development of review sites, increasing the availability of awareness, a new item appeared that interested medical and educational institutions. This is the rating of the institution. The rating is built on two main points: 1) technical equipment, personnel and new technologies and 2) public opinion about the institution. Institutional opinion is based on the opinion of patients or students.
