title: [From blind knowledge to experiential knowledge].
abstract: A postgraduate course in psychosomatic and psychosocial medicine for general practitioners started in 1999 from Marc Archinard advice. It consists of about half the hours required for the "Attestation de formation complémentaire" granted by the Swiss Academy of psychosomatic and psychosocial medicine (AMPP). This article describes the elaboration of a questionnaire assessing the professional competences acquired by the practitioners after the course. As practitioners they valorise knowledge coming from their experiences on patient relationships and group exchanges, own maturational process, delegation process as well as expansion of therapeutic choices.
