This paper discusses the characteristics, training programs, strengths, and critical aspects of health psychology, as it is taught in educational courses that concern health sciences. This document overviews the central theme of the issue: the adaptation of psychology to academic medical doctors. The first section addresses the history, fundamental objectives, and models of teaching and learning in health psychology. Then, we describe standards for professional sectors for university education, predominantly in a psychology degree, and graduate and postgraduate courses. We also describe theoretical approaches and strategies; survey the evidence for teaching, learning, and assessing fundamental skills; and lay out the best solutions for teaching and learning in psychology. Finally, we describe curriculum design and implementation, and recommendations for both psychology teachers and students.

Abstract

This paper discusses the characteristics, training programs, strengths, and critical aspects of health psychology, as it is taught in educational courses that concern health sciences. This document overviews the central theme of the issue: the adaptation of psychology to academic medical doctors. The first section addresses the history, fundamental objectives, and models of teaching and learning in health psychology. Then, we describe standards for professional sectors for university education, predominantly in a psychology degree, and graduate and postgraduate courses. We also describe theoretical approaches and strategies; survey the evidence for teaching, learning, and assessing fundamental skills; and lay out the best solutions for teaching and learning in psychology. Finally, we describe curriculum design and implementation, and recommendations for both psychology teachers and students.
