As we move into the 21st century it is becoming increasingly
difficult to offer appropriate introductory clinical experiences
for medical students. Many schools offer clinical experiences in
the first year of medical school, when the learner has little
background in the traditions and origins of the doctor-patient
interaction. Others begin this process in the second year, after a
professional language base has been established, but concise
educational materials are scarce that integrate the meaning of the
privileged clinical encounter with the process and content of
interviewing and examining patients. In the tertiary hospitals,
where most medical schools are based, the educators must provide an
orienta tion to the clinical encounter, an intensely personal
experience, in the midst of glittering technological marvels that
easily distract both the novice physician and the wizened teacher.
Understanding the context and historical basis for the privilege of
interviewing and examining another person about intimate matters
relating to health and disease is essential to this process.
Considering these factors, this textbook is written to assist
medical educators and medical students involved in early clinical
training. As the demand for "high-tech" medicine has accelerated,
so has the public concern over the loss of "high-touch" or
compassionate, humane interactions with physicians. Physicians are
perceived as more concerned with readouts from machines and
fiberoptic views of the patient than with understanding and car ing
about the people we have labeled as patients."
