INTRODUCTION
The world is getting smaller. Genaral practitioners are increasingly coming
in contact with people from different countries and culture is becoming an important
issue that determines communication between the doctor and the patient. Doctors
need tools that would help them in their work in a multicultural environment.
Because of the nature of general practice it is important that these issues
are properly taught in a GP setting. This is the challenge that this year's
course of learning and teaching in family medicine is aiming to address. The
participants will have an opportunity to share their views and experiences with
dealing with patients from different cultures. Because of the international
nature of the course, we will be able to exchange opinions and views from different
health care systems, societies and cultures.
The participants of the course will be able to attend the 1st annual
meeting of GP/FM teachers in Europe and present their products from the groups
during it for the price of attending the course.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
At the end of the course the participants will be able to:
- Understand the meaning of patient centerdness and partnership model of
clinical care in doctor patient relationship
- Understand the importance of patient centerdness and the partnership model
of clinical care
- Understand the importance of appropriate relationship between patient and
the doctor in the context of his/her everyday routine and principles of general
practice
- Use strategies for dealing with delicate issues of doctor patient relationship
- Apply the strategies in a practical situation
- Understand the importance of incorporating teaching about doctor patient
relationship in their students' and trainees' programmes
- Develop a teaching strategy on doctor patient relationship in general practice
that can be used in his/her country
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course is aimed at general practitioners involved in teaching general
practice at university or practice level and will be held in English. It will
