A Controlled Experiment in Teaching Students to Respond to Patients' Emotional Concerns.

Wolf, Fredric M.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v62 n1 p25-34 Jan 1987

A study found that a combination of small-group instruction and large-group lectures was more effective than lectures alone in preparing medical students to respond to patients' emotional concerns. The small group instruction consisted of interviews with elderly nursing home residents serving as simulated patients, and structured practice and review. (MSE)
