title: [A new teaching program in behavioral sciences in Oslo].
abstract: The Department of Behavioural Sciences in Medicine at the University of Oslo was established in 1977. The teaching programme followed the same main principles until 1992, and took place in the third and fourth terms. Since 1992, however, several changes have taken place. The teaching is now given together with medical history during ten weeks at the end of the preclinical term. Teaching practical skills in doctor-patient communication is introduced in this term, and is continued in the first clinical year. The students work together in plenary seminars on the main topics presented in the lectures. The teaching is still concentrated on four main topics: Psychobiology, medical psychology, medical sociology and the doctor-patient relationship and communication. We conclude that the changes have improved the teaching. Written evaluation by the students strongly supports this conclusion.
