Abstract
Every medical student amidst COVID-19 missed out on an integral part of medical education which is interaction with patients as all the physical classes were postponed for months. Effective interaction with patients is the heart of medicine and it provides a synergistic effect on the delivery of high-quality care to the patient. However many medical students underestimate the art of communication. This article highlights the importance of basic communication skills; also encourages reflecting upon the whole experience and extracting the learning to apply to any further interactions.
