title: A new model for physician-patient communication.
abstract: The E4 model for physician-patient communication is presented with specific techniques for implementing the model. Derived from an extensive review of the literature on physician-patient communication, the model has proved to be a useful tool in workshops for and coaching of physicians regardless of specialty, experience or practice setting. Information on how to obtain descriptive materials about the workshop and an annotated bibliography is included.
