Abstract
This chapter describes the evolution of a unique faculty development course and innovative educational model designed by Mack Lipkin, Jr. for teachers of medical interviewing. His approach integrates principles of learner-centered (or self-directed) learning with core human values, such as unconditional positive regard for others and attention to affect. We first describe some experiences that led Lipkin to the development of the course model. We then discuss the educational context and principles of the course and detail its structure, process, and problems. We end with some short examples of other applications of this approach in medical education.
