Abstract
The authors describe the evolution of a program of primary care experience for residents in the new first year of psychiatry training. They identify the doctor-patient relationship and with it the field of two-person biology as the integrating concept for the year. They describe an innovative educational instrument to achieve this end: a faculty preceptor group containing equally the perspective of liaison psychiatry and dynamic psychotherapy. Some early data on the outcome of the program are offered.
