Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the study of communicational skills and strategies in intercultural contexts with a special emphasis on the medical field. It provides solutions for reducing miscommunication caused by linguistic taboos or by an insufficient understanding of the homogeneity-heterogeneity of the participants. The study identifies elements that define efficiency and effectiveness of intercultural communication among different types of persons, in different types of situations or settings. Generally speaking, participants in a conversation make decisions like physical location, beliefs or language which define a successful communicational pattern.
