Summary This paper describes the use of a modified essay question to investigate the nature of certain cognitive changes associated with some quite specific preclinical teaching. Although the teaching was aimed at developing communication skills, it appeared to draw attention to some broader aspects of health and the role of the general practitioner. The MEQ indicated that a number of important changes appeared to be associated with the teaching experience.
