In present our aim was to adapt the communication abilities used in educational scope to the medical questioning context. These are grouped in: expression abilities watch and heed abilities, and abilities to establish an empathy relation. From each group its components were expressed, as well as the meaning of each as ability. We conclude that communication is an essential activity in human relations and by its significant character, communication abilities, defined by the educator Ana María Fernández González in case of professor-student communication, may be adapted to medical questioning context.
