title: Psychodynamics instruction in early undergraduate medical education.
abstract: The inclusion of training in psychodynamics during the fourth year of a seven-year BS/MD program is justified by the psychosocial component of clinical care, newly appreciated in medicine as essential to professional competence. An effective, well-received module has been designed to fit a learner-centered active learning paradigm in which written medical cases and role-playing illustrate concepts studied.
