Abstract
Readily identifiable psychosocial problems exist which affect 50 to 75 percent of all hospitalized patients. The primary physician must learn to deal with these problems, frequently trial and error, “common sense,” or “role-modeling.” A training program at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine entitled LIAISON PSYCHIATRY was designed to help medical students recognize and handle these common problems.
