Abstract
Communication between doctors and patients is an important way to establish good doctor-patient relationship. It is crucial to master doctor-patient communication skills and arts for general practitioners who will extensively serve the people in community for life-long time after completion of residency training. To improve the communication skills and to enhance the clinical competency of general practitioners, we applied the Balint special group activities as core of doctor-patient communication course in residency training program. Through 3 years of practice, we found that the application of Balint group enriched the teaching contents and form of general practice residency training; improved doctor-patient communication skills, and enhanced the competency and professionalism of general practice trainees. Key words: Inservice training; Psychoanalytic therapy; General practitioner
