Interpersonal Skills Training: Evaluation in an Internal Medicine Residency.
Robbins, Alan S.; And Others
Journal of Medical Education, v54 n11 p885-94 Nov 1979
To determine the effectiveness of teaching interpersonal skills in a general internal medicine residency, a program was developed utilizing videotape feedback of hospital house-staff/patient interactions. Fifty-one randomly selected house officers were included in a controlled pre- and post-test study design. The results suggest that such a program can be effective. (Author/JMD)
