Humans as social creatures need other people so they need interpersonal communication skills, including teenagers. Interpersonal communication is a communication process that occurs between two or more people with the aim of sharing information, ideas and feelings. This communication can be done face to face or by telephone. Failure to carry out interpersonal communication makes it difficult for teenagers to have wider conversations. The results of interpersonal communication research can be in the form of communication patterns that occur between two or more people. The results of the initial interpersonal communication survey of students at the Santa Elisabeth Medan College of Health Sciences had poor communication skills due to a lack of attention from the recipient. The purpose of this research is to determine the description of interpersonal communication of students at the Santa Elisabeth Medan College of Health Sciences in 2024. This research method uses a descriptive research design. The sample for this research was 80 respondents with the sampling technique being simple sampling. The instrument used was a questionnaire. Univariate data analysis. The results of this research showed that interpersonal communication was good for 58 people (72.5%) and 22 people (27.5%) were poor. It is hoped that the Santa Elisabeth Medan College of Health Sciences can help students to improve their interpersonal communication better by instilling in these individuals an attitude of openness, empathy, support, a sense of positivity and equality in students.
