  • Identification of strengths and weaknesses based on score variations within each domain.
  • Quantitative analysis of trainer performance data.

    • Main Results:

    • A 90% participation rate (94 out of 105 trainers) was achieved.
    • Identified strengths included general medical knowledge (digestive system), medical skills (skin-related), consultation skills (empathy), and practice management (accessibility).
    • Identified weaknesses included general medical knowledge (neurological system), medical/technical skills (endocrine/metabolic/nutritional system), consultation skills (shared decision-making), and practice management (staff cooperation).

    Conclusions:

    • This systematic evaluation is the first to identify specific strengths and weaknesses of GP trainers.
    • Identified weaknesses will guide the development of collective improvement strategies for the GP trainer curriculum.
    • Individual learning plans will be tailored based on identified areas for development.
