The results of a 2-year trial of teaching medical students in a phobia clinic are described. This has been found a useful experience by the students, particularly as an introduction to the doctor-patient relation. The success rate and attitude of patients justified this experiment, and there might be an indication for extension to other teaching and possibly regional hospitals. The long-term benefits to the medical student are discussed.
