Anaesthesiologists have few opportunities to communicate with patients especially in preoperative period for various reasons. If these opportunities are not well utilized, anesthesiologists may not be able to educate patients about anaesthesia related issues. The aim of this study was to assess communication skill (CS) exhibited by the anesthesiology residents during the process of preoperative visit and informed consent.
