Abstract
Medical education is known for its competitive and highly demanding environment. Medical students are required a solid set of hard skills on the one hand, but they are also expected to proficiently master soft skills. This article focuses on the 21st century skills, narrowing down the perspective to communication and creativity in the current medical education field. Empathy as a key concept in patient-centred medical communication has proven to be difficult to define, difficult to assess, and challenging to achieve, especially since studies show a decrease of empathy in medical students in their clinical years of formation. Investigation of appliable solution has been included in terms of curriculum disciplines and extra curriculum programs that could highly contribute to enhancing the required 21st century skills in the case of medical students.
