The course content focused on the patient-centered clinical method. The method emphasizes understanding the patient's point of view of his or her illness and collaboration between doctor and patient. The small-group format, utilizing role-playing and videotaped examples, was seen as a viable approach to continuing medical education. The participants responded favourably to the six-week course and found the conceptual framework valuable for family practice.
