Behavioral scientists as clinical educators of primary care practitioners.
Behavioral scientists on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University Health Associate Program work in teams with medical preceptors in the clinical education and supervision of students during their first year of training. The rationale, objectives, and methods of implementation for this aspect of the program are discussed. This approach answers current concerns that relevant behavioral science content must be integrated into clinical training, and it appears to be useful at all levels of medical education.
