ABSTRACT
Objective: We assessed the use of literature to illustrate a postpartum depression lecture. Methods: Medical students and faculty facilitators were surveyed after small group discussions. Results: Students ratings and comments were positive, and faculty comments were neutral to positive. Conclusion: Students valued this teaching method, while faculty observations reflected challenges of assessing literatures contributions to medical education in improving empathy and treatment outcome.
