General practitioners and professional satisfaction.

One hundred and eighty-five general practitioners participated in a study regarding satisfaction from the doctor-patient relationship. Of these, 71% responded in writing to an open-ended item concerning personal satisfaction. Written responses were assigned to one or more of nine groupings formed by considering the content of general practice and conceptualising characteristics of the doctor-patient relationship. Four characteristics--activity, authority, objectivity and radionality (the clinical model) were assigned 299 written responses. Four characteristics--affinity, continuity, intimacy and reciprocity (the relational model) were assigned 287 responses. The paper discusses the two models, their respective characteristics and physician responses.

Teaching sex education and counseling for the primary physician.

Today's family physicians are being confronted by increasing numbers of patients who desire and need sex education and counseling. It is suggested that the family and primary physician can approach the multiple sex-related needs of the family by understanding the family life cycle and by using permission-giving, limited information, and specific suggestions with patients as needed and as appropriate. The experience of the University of Miami's Department of Family Medicine in teaching human sexuality to medical students, residents, and faculty of the medical center is cited to help other residency programs include sex counseling and sex education in the armamentarium of residents.

Resident participation in residency programs.

Residents need to participate more fully in decisions involving their educational process and their learning/work setting. In the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Miami School of Medicine, residents are involved in designing their curriculum, monitoring their work/learning settings, selecting their peers, and evaluating their peers and faculty. This style of residency program has significant implications not only for patient care but also for future physicians, medical departments, and medical associations.
