title: A teaching project for training family residents regarding the services of hospital chaplains.
abstract: In doing a curriculum evaluation for Behavioral Science training of Family Medicine Residents, it was determined that the knowledge of the work of the chaplains in inpatient care was somewhat limited. The Behavioral Science Educator initiated a collaborative project with the Department of Pastoral Care in order to facilitate an increased awareness of the chaplains' services, since the chaplains are part of the patient treatment team. This article is a description and evaluation of that project.
