Greater standardization of the methodology used is desirable in future trials to increase our confidence in these findings.Focus on the quality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by radiologists is welcome, but the clinical impacts that arise from MRI scans still need urological expertise. The urologist perspective is required in a multidisciplinary team setting when making decisions on whether to repeat a scan or perform a biopsy. This can ensure effective use of the prostate MRI diagnostic pathway in delivering desired clinical benefits for patients. To study longitudinally students' attitudes towards communication skills (CS) in order to examine whether CS training (CST) has an enduring impact on medical students' attitudes toward being a lifelong learner of CS. 105 students completed the Communication Skills Attitude Scale at 4 times before CST, after CST and before and after a traineeship. Our final sample size is 105 students. CST improved the attitudes of our students toward CS, and the traineeship stabilised those attitudes. However, while the improvement in positive attitudes was sustained over time, negative attitudes increased 6 months after CST. CST using experiential methods in a safe environment has the potential to improve students' attitudes towards CS. A short traineeship in general medicine allows students to quickly integrate CST into clinical practice, without deteriorating their attitudes toward CS. However, 6 months of medical lessons without CST reinforces students' negative attitudes. To avoid the deterioration of attitudes over time, CST should be continuous or at least spaced at intervals less than 6 months and supported by the institutional authorities. In addition, placing the CST close to an observation traineeship in general practice seems an interesting way to prevent further deterioration of attitudes. To avoid t
