Undergraduate general practice teaching in Australasian medical schools: the student viewpoint. 1975

J A Dickinson

A survey was conducted to find what type of general practice teaching is offered to Australasian undergraduates. Of 11 medical schools, one had no pretence at general practice teaching, four had very inadequate and six had sufficient courses devoted to the subject. Comments on the place of general practice teaching in the medical curriculum are added. An attempt is made to summarize student expectations.
