Cross-sectional descriptive study. 10 Primary Care Centers. Resident doctors of Family and Community Medicine. Peer review of video recordings of clinical demand consultations. CICAA-2 questionnaire to assess communication skills (improvable, acceptable or adequate); age and sex, reasons for consultation and duration of the interview. Bivariate and multivariate analyses.

The mean duration of the interviews was 8.5±4.0min.
