2) starting with open-ended questions to allow the patient to introduce the topic herself;
3) Asking if there are any further issues the patient would like to address;
4) correcting wrong information and re-educating the patient without being judgmental;
5) repeating and emphasizing important points;
6) using a fairly wide range of vocabulary and grammar. Note a) the candidate has a distinct accent but this does not prevent him from being understood; b) there are some grammar errors and mild mispronunciation, but not enough to distract from his meaning or cause misunderstanding or confusion.
