Behavioral science has been an integral part of the family medicine curriculum since the inception of the specialty. Its inclusion prepares family physicians to provide patient-centered care, communicate with empathy and compassion, exercise cultural humility, and manage mental health issues commonly seen in primary care. Behavioral science curricula will also train clinicians to increase their self-awareness and reflective practices so that they might develop skills to manage stress and maintain well-being in the face of the challenges inherent in health care. Building on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Family Medicine Residency Program Requirements, this chapter will provide guidance on what to include in a behavioral medicine curriculum, and various methods for its dissemination.

摘要

Behavioral science has been an integral part of the family medicine curriculum since the inception of the specialty. Its inclusion prepares family physicians to provide patient-centered care, communicate with empathy and compassion, exercise cultural humility, and manage mental health issues commonly seen in primary care. Behavioral science curricula will also train clinicians to increase their self-awareness and reflective practices so that they might develop skills to manage stress and maintain well-being in the face of the challenges inherent in health care. Building on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Family Medicine Residency Program Requirements, this chapter will provide guidance on what to include in a behavioral medicine curriculum, and various methods for its dissemination.
