Description
Shabana Sultan, Poorva Badkur, and Pawan Pandey test whether a one day workshop can raise empathy in medical postgraduates in this 2026 paper. Seventy-five obstetrics and gynecology trainees at one college took part. The day mixed talks, videos, group scenarios, and role play. Empathy scores started low, near eighty-eight on the scale used. Right after the workshop they jumped to about one hundred twenty-four. Eight weeks later they had settled near one hundred eight, still well above the start.
The share of students classed as highly empathic rose from about a fifth to a third at follow up. The fade after the workshop is itself a finding: one day moves scores, but the lift decays. The authors argue for refresher sessions to hold the gain. Schools should repeat it rather than treat it as a one time fix.
