Back when I was in med school, I had to give a 15 minute talk on how to improve "patient adherence." I think the preceptor expected me to talk about the precontemplation-contemplation-etc model for behavior change. Instead, I suggested that patients might be more likely to accept the advice of a doctor who hadn't just kept him waiting until 5:30 for a 4:00 appointment.
