Some Observations on the Teaching of Medical Psychology in Pediatrics

Some Observations on the Teaching of Medical Psychology in Pediatrics Abstract In discussing the actual teaching of medical psychology as a part of the pediatrics education, the teacher should define his aims and objectives as they pertain to the particular situation he operates in and as they may be intergrated into the over-all teaching program.

Abstract In discussing the actual teaching of medical psychology as a part of the pediatrics education, the teacher should define his aims and objectives as they pertain to the particular situation he operates in and as they may be intergrated into the over-all teaching program.

The group is made up of approximately 16 fourth-year medical students from the George Washington and Georgetown medical schools, the resident (pediatric) staff rotating through the department of psychiatry, social workers, and, occasionally, nurses.
