At this time, when we see great emphasis on curriculum change in the teaching of obstetrics and gynecology, it would be short-sighted indeed if we did not recognize the urgent need to develop a new kind of doctor. Ethologic (behavioral science) techniques can lead to significant improvement in the ability to organize, comprehend, and communicate. They can lead to a greater self-awareness and thus enhance personal growth, creativity, and achievement. As a result, one will have a greater understanding of his psychological needs, the nature of conflict, how to eliminate frustrations and anxiety, and most important, the methods for self-motivation. Not only will the individual be better able to relate to himself, but also he will have a greater ability to relate to others. This paper will discuss these techniques in depth and will contribute new thinking to the field of obstetric and gynecologic teaching that will help us to achieve our most optimistic goals.
