This study examines the importance and practice of communication skills by physical therapy students and analyzes data on students’ communication education needs. Between March and May 2022, 131 students from the physical therapy department participated in a survey. Communication skills were classified into interpretation ability, role performance ability, self-presentation ability, goal setting ability, and message conversion ability. The Borich method was used to analyze communication education needs, and to identify priorities in communication education. In terms of the importance and practice of communication skills, message conversion ability ranked the highest at 3.95 points and 3.83 points, respectively, and self-presentation ability and goal setting ability showed the lowest score. The need for self-presentation ability was identified as the highest priority among communication education needs. Therefore, to improve the communication skills of physical therapy students set to become physical therapists in the medical field, it is necessary to teach them self-presentation skills. The results of this study can be used as basic educational material that improves communication skills in physical therapy students.
