    Family practice residents' perceptions of behavioral science training, relevance, and needs.

    Abstract

    Fifty-six family practice residents representing programs in 23 different states were surveyed concerning their training experience in behavioral science. Questions covered three basic areas of concern: experiential content, subsequent relevance to family practice, and suggestions for curriculum improvement at the residency level. The results point out definite knowledge of medical psychology, psychiatric consultation to medical patients, and practical intervention skills. Suggestions are made concerning curriculum development in behavioral science which (1) emphasize some new areas of concern raised by the residents, (2) recommend a more practical, integrated approach beginning in the medical school training, and (3) emphasize a dual approach requiring skills in medical psychology and skills more traditionally subsumed under the "mental health" field.
