COMPARISON OF PATIENT CENTRED ATTITUDES AMONG 1ST, 3RD AND 5TH YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS IN THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE PERADENIYA
Abstract
Background: The value of patient centred approaches as oppose to traditional doctorcentred approaches in delivery of patient care has been increasingly recognized. Positive as
well as negative impact of the curriculum on students’ patient centred attitudes has been
reported. There is evidence to suggest that the curriculum could be designed to enhance
patient centred attitudes. Therefore comparison of patient centeredness among 1st, 3rd and
5th yearmedical students was considered as a valuable exercise.
