title: An evaluation of the short-term effects of an interpersonal skills course.
abstract: A course on interpersonal skills (IPS) has been introduced as part of the clerkship in internal medicine. The course is given in small groups (8-10 students) with two tutors attached to each group. The use of trigger films in the IPS course has been described previously (Alroy & Ber, 1982). An evaluation of the short-term (2-month) effects of the method is now reported.
