Objectives: To assess the effects of a brief counseling training program on communication self-efficacy and empathy among Korean medical students. Methods: Forty-six fourth-year medical students from Korea engaged in an 8-hour training program spread over four days, which emphasized three key counseling skills: empathy, self-disclosure, and confrontation. Communication self-efficacy was evaluated using the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire-12 (SE-12), while empathy was measured with the Jefferson Scale of Empathy—Student version (JSE-S). Pre- and post-training scores were compared using paired t-tests, and differences based on sex and baseline scores were analyzed with independent t-tests. Results: SE-12 scores showed a significant increase, rising from 84.74±12.90 to 93.85±12.61 (mean change: 9.10±13.62, p<.001). Notably, the lower baseline group demonstrated greater improvement (16.64±12.76) compared to the higher baseline group (2.59±10.02, p<.001). JSE-S scores also significantly improved from 101.89±13.40 to 105.76±14.47 (mean change: 3.87±10.94, p=0.021), although differences by sex and baseline score group were not statistically significant. Analysis at the item level revealed significant improvements in 10 of the 12 SE-12 items and 5 of the 20 JSE-S items. Conclusions: The brief counseling training program significantly enhanced communication self-efficacy and empathy. Further studies with long-term follow-up are recommended.
