Behavioral science and family practice: a status report. 1979

J L Hornsby, and R M Kerr

The purpose of this study was to assess the current status of behavioral science instruction in family practice residency training programs. The primary areas of interest were: (1) characteristics of those who teach behavioral science (number of persons teaching behavioral science by discipline and academic degree, number and percent of time behavioral science personnel employed, work responsibilities, academic unit responsible for instruction, description of those who provide inservice training in behavioral science ), (2) the relative importance of various behavioral science topics as perceived by faculty/staff (21 topics), and (3) preferred methods of instruction. The data revealed a wide variety of persons involved in behavioral science instruction, a strong emphasis placed on communication and counseling skills, and similar, but not innovative, teaching methods used for behavioral science instruction.
