As a Medical Assistant, your interactions with patients will play a significant role in their overall experience at your medical facility. Patients usually interact with Medical assistants first, so their first impression of a facility, whether good or bad, starts with you. Your customer service skills will leave the patient with the overall experience of their visit.

When engaged in an I-Thou dialogue one is concerned with the uniqueness of the individual, or summarized as “actively listening and encouraging the feelings and opinions of the other person instead of planning our next response while he or she is speaking” (Neher & Sandin, 2007, p. 90). Rogers believed the client should be the “director of their own lives, and it is the therapists responsibility to provide an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard and empathy towards the client” (Bozarth, 2012).
