Orientation of Medical Residents to the Psychosocial Aspects of Primary Care: Influence of Training Program.

Eisenthal, Sherman; And Others

Academic Medicine, v69 n1 p48-54 Jan 1994

A survey of 63 general medical residents found most accepted the psychosocial role of the primary care physician, found it most appropriate in ambulatory care settings, felt ambivalent about their ability to perform it, and assigned it secondary priority in patient care. More attention by training programs to ambulatory care and psychosocial skills is recommended. (Author/MSE)
