Whole Person Medicine a Tutor’s Manual

A logical, clear, and intensely practical manual for PRIME tutors focusing on whole person medicine and how to teach it. The manual contains an explanation of whole person care, an overview of how to run a PRIME course and six basic sessions that might make up a typical course in whole person medicine:

• Establishing the need for a whole person approach
• Entering the world of the patient
• The seven level model
• Whole person medicine in action
• Making changes
• Closing the workshop

In addition there are 10 sections reviewing several basic teaching methods that we have
found to be helpful in PRIME’s work in the UK and abroad:

• Introduction to teaching methods
• Working with large groups
• Lecturing
• Role-play
• Pre-tasking
• Using pictures
• Using video material
• Using PowerPoints
• Summarising
• Brainstorming
• Evaluation and assessment

Supporting PowerPoints have been embedded in the text to make it easier to browse the course as a whole and are available on the attached CD. The manual is intended as a resource for PRIME tutor's and others who have already attended a PRIME conference on whole person care.

“I am so impressed with the quality and depth of teaching. I believe you have provided
an extremely effective tool for changing the mindset from dualistic to wholistic and for
helping doctors to incorporate biophysical into relational medicine. This is such an
important task and so well done... the "Managing the Course" material was
outstanding... the slides are just phenomenal...” 
Dr Glenn Strauss, whilst Senior Vice President of International Health Care, Mercy Ships.
