In medicine, man as a social being, takes over the role of a patient (the person being treated) or the status of a physician (the one who treats). An essential element in training the future physician is developing his communication skills with the patient. This type of communication implies, first of all, the existence of deontological aspects. Thus, the physician's status infers: universalism; socialization; objectivity; impartiality; possession of qualities stipulated in the Hippocrates Oath - probity, chastity, discretion. The status of the patient implies: the right to choose the doctor, responsibility, sincerity in communicating with the doctor, responsibilities for the treatment prescribed by the doctor. Essential elements in doctor-patient communication are: nonverbal communication (touch, visual contact, listening) and verbal communication (explanation). The aim of the paper: The Romanian language and medical terminology course combines teaching/learning Romanian medical language with initiating and cultivating the art of communication in order to ensure adequate status of the medical student as a future specialist. Discussion: By respecting the principles of medical deontology (of aiding and humanism) the medical science turns into art. To be perfect medical art must spring out of love and so man becomes more affectionate, more generous, becomes better. Thus, medical care appears as a mating of the knowledge of the illness itself with the art of establishing inter-human relationships - the art of communication.
