Abstract
<?Pub Inc> This thesis used a qualitative approach to explore the long-term cognitive and behavioural impact of medical residents' participation in an educational intervention in performance enhancement training (PET). The PET was designed to facilitate the development of skills, attitudes and behaviours which could enhance residents' abilities to acquire and apply knowledge while developing their expertise in the practice of medicine. The results identified that participation was intrinsically motivated; attracted by concepts of high performance and psychological skills training The program components that resonated most strongly were the self-awareness created by the TAIS testing, the concepts of perspective and the process of group learning and facilitator expertise. The impacts positively affected their personal lives and performance, their relationships with friends, families and significant others, their relationships and attitudes towards their co-workers, bosses and students as well as their interactions with patients.
