A values clarification workshop experience for residents.
Ten residents, 3 faculty members, 2 nurses, and 1 social worker from an adolescent clinic attended a workshop designed to explore, understand, and experience their personal values systems. The purpose was to train health care workers to better care for adolescents. Didactic teaching was minimized. The majority of time was spent on training exercises, including role-playing and group discussion. Most participants felt the experience was positive. This format appears to be useful in training young physicians about interpersonal skills.
