title: The doctor-patient relationship: time management and diagnostic methods of the family physician. An undergraduate perspective.
abstract: Physicians are often called upon to mentor students considering a career in medicine. There are seldom clear guidelines as to what either the student or the physician should do during these experiences. The following article is offered as a model of what the student and physician authors considered a productive experience that was both academically sound and directed toward helping the student thoughtfully look at a medical career. The study itself, accomplished during a one month "interim" experience during the student's junior year of college, addresses the question, "How do family practice doctors function during typical office visits?"
