Abstract
The authors describe a case-oriented seminar on managed care designed to teach psychiatric residents and medical students the principles of cost containment and delivery of quality care. The participants engage in role-play (reviewer, provider, appeal arbitrator) to elucidate the process. The response of the participants indicates that this seminar is a useful teaching model. Salient points regarding the content and process of the seminar are-discussed in some detail.
