AB  - This  chapter  describes  a  user-friendly  step-by-step  method  for  the  beginning  of  the  medical  interview  that  has  been  effective  in  many  hands  during  the  last  20  years.1–8  Your  first  task  is  to  master  the  5  steps  and  21  substeps  shown  in  Figure  3-1.  We  urge  you  to  learn  these  thoroughly;  to  the  point  that  they  become  reflexive—this  is  easily  accomplished  by  studying,  and  then  practicing  them.  Even  though  this  may  seem  like  a  lot  to  learn,  just  as  you  learn  the  intricacies  of  cardiac  physiology,  this  is  your  major  task  in  mastering  the  medical  interview.  Using  these  steps  and  substeps  will  make  you  a  more  scientific  and  more  humanistic  physician—and  your  patients  will  benefit  (see  Appendix  B  for  a  detailed  humanistic  and  scientific  rationale  for  being  patient-centered).  To  assist  you,  we  also  have  developed  a  video  that  demonstrates  the  same  skills  described  here:  http://www.mhprofessional.com/patient-centered-interviewing  (see  Preface).
