Background: Although many international accreditation groups recommend to teach doctor-patient communication skills to medical students, there is still a lack of teaching of these skills in most Lebanese medical schools. Purpose: To evaluate the attitudes of clinical faculty members of the University Saint Joseph (USJ) working at the hospital H?tel-Dieu de France (HDF) towards medical communication and to assess their perceptions on the current communication skills teaching. Methods: An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was sent to all clinical faculty members working at the HDF (n = 154). Results: A total of 131?faculty members responded (85?% of response). Faculty members had a great positive attitude towards communication skills with a mean score of 52.9 out of a maximum of 60. Physicians' perceptions of current communication skills teaching to medical students were rather negative with a mean score of 14.8 out of a maximum of 35. More than 50?% of respondents have rated poor students' performance in different fields of medical communication. Conclusion: The positive attitude expressed by faculty members working at the HDF along with their negative perceptions of the current teaching in regards of medical communication suggest to consider the implementation of a communication skills teaching program relying on the adhesion of faculty members to this program. Contexte?: Bien que les organismes d'accr?ditation internationaux exigent l'inclusion d'un enseignement des techniques de communication m?decin-patient dans le curriculum des ?tudiants de m?decine, ce type d'enseignement reste d?ficient dans la majorit? des facult?s de m?decine au Liban. Buts?: ?valuer les attitudes des m?decins de la facult? de m?decine de l'universit? Saint Joseph (USJ) exer?ant ? l'h?pital H?tel Dieu de France (HDF), envers la communication m?dicale et estimer leurs perceptions de l'enseignement actuel de ces techniques. Mat?riels et sujets?: Un questionnaire auto-administr? respectant l'anonymat a ?t? envoy? ? tous les m?decins de l'universit? Saint Joseph pratiquant ? l'h?pital HDF (n = 154). R?sultats?: Cent trente et un (131) m?decins ont r?pondu au questionnaire (85?% de r?ponse). Les m?decins avaient des attitudes tr?s positives envers les techniques de communication avec un score moyen des attitudes de?52,9 sur un total de 60 et une perception plut?t n?gative de l'enseignement actuel des techniques de communication aux ?tudiants de m?decine avec un score moyen des perceptions de 14,8 sur un total de?35. Plus de la moiti? des m?decins ont estim? que la performance des ?tudiants dans les diff?rents domaines de la communication m?dicale ?tait faible. Conclusion?: L'attitude positive que les m?decins de la facult? de m?decine de l'USJ ont exprim?e et leur perception n?gative de l'enseignement actuel concernant la communication m?dicale invitent ? envisager l'instauration d'un programme d'enseignement des techniques de communication s'appuyant sur l'adh?sion des m?decins ? ce programme.
