Groups of 6-12 doctors meet regularly with an accredited IPM leader —either on a fortnightly or monthly basis. Doctors discuss real clinical cases they have encountered in the course of their work. A deeper understanding of the problem is realised by:
- Studying the doctor-patient relationship
- Use of physical examination
The best way to experience this way of learning is to join a basic seminar group. Further details are contained within the prospectus . New basic seminar groups start regularly at several sites in the UK. The IPM can also set up a local group if a number of doctors are interested in training.
