The primary goal of shared medical appointments is to improve access to medical care. This model has been implemented in various medical specialty areas with a primary focus on delivering care to persons with chronic conditions. This qualitative study is aimed at answering the question: What is the experience of patients who receive mental health treatment via a shared medical appointment model? The philosophical and methodological basis for this study is interpretive phenomenology drawn from the work of Martin Heidegger. Results indicate that shared medial appointments of the nature studied support (1) the establish knowledge related to shared medical appointments; (2) the established knowledge related to group interventions or services; (3) diminishing self-stigma and (4) the enhancement of health literacy. Shared medical appointments exhibit the potential to aid in the redesign of the health care system and in improving health.
