Instructing Medical Students on Alcoholism: What to Teach with Limited Time.

Nocks, James J.

Journal of Medical Education, v55 n10 p858-64 Oct 1980

Research literature dealing with physicians' attitudes toward alcoholism, reasons for their feelings, and attempts to change them through teaching is reviewed. It is suggested that, due to the limited time in the medical school curriculum, emphasis should be on physician attitudes. A Yale-VA Medical Center course on alcoholism is described. (Author/JMD)
