Abstract

A doctor-patient consultation can be viewed as consisting of three parts: Patient’s Part, Doctor’s Part and Shared Part. Macro-Micro Supervision is a teaching method developed to train doctors in consultation techniques for the initial Patient’s Part and to become more patient-centred. Doctors find the Patient’s Part of our consultation method the most difficult. Macro-Micro Supervision is used when groups review video-recorded role-plays of real consultations or of simulated consultations, where participants alternate between playing doctor and patient. It can also be used in one-to-one supervision.
