AB While medical educators have devoted considerable effort to examining the optimal learning environment for teaching family medicine, less attention has been paid to "blocks" that prevent teachers of family medicine from being effective. This paper considers three major aspects of this problem: the personal and professional development of the teacher; blocks that impede this development; and the value of intervening in the teaching-learning process. These concerns are discussed in relation to an intervention program developed at the Byron Family Medical Centre, a family practice teaching unit affiliated with Victoria Hospital Corporation and the Department of Family Medicine, University of Western Ontario, London.
