gap.” Result: Prevalidated questions were asked to 200 health profession’s students. Various factors
responsible for communication gap and generation gap were discussed. Knowledge and attitude of
health profession’s students gave important clues for developing effective communication and also

with respect, and give equal importance to career and family. Thus knowledge and attitude of health
profession’s students can be helpful in achieving good communication skills in the context of medical
and other healthcare practice for professional‑patient interaction and within the healthcare team
