Abstract
This article will explore the role of education in encouraging clinicians to engage with their patients on the topic of prevention and screening. It will start with a description of the process by which clinicians learn. There will then be an exploration of the conditions that are required for a change in the behavior of clinicians. Finally there will be a discussion of how to design educational interventions that will support change and look at how to apply this to the field of prevention.
