Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of clerkship supervisors regarding the biopsychosocial approach at the University of Botswana’s Faculty of Medicine

While most UB-FOM clerkship supervisors who participated to the study acknowledged the importance of considering all four dimensions of health in healthcare activities, they felt less comfortable instructing medical students on the BPSM during clinical rotations and expressed less agreement about the efficacy of psychosocial processes in medical treatment. We recommend implementing research that specifically targets the beliefs and attitudes of clerkship supervisors.
