Summary

Rural general practitioners (GPs) need better training in medical education. A new workshop program, POPPIES, was developed to support rural GP preceptors in teaching and assessment, addressing identified educational gaps.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • General Practice
  • Rural Health

Background:

  • Rural General Practitioners (GPs) serve as crucial preceptors for medical students.
  • GPs are responsible for a significant portion of student assessment, yet lack formal training.
  • The student-GP preceptor relationship is vital for rural GP recruitment and retention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the lack of formal educational training for rural GP preceptors.
  • To develop and implement an interdisciplinary educational and support program for GP preceptors.
  • To meet stringent medical school accreditation standards for teaching and assessment.

Main Methods:

  • A needs analysis of 64 rural GP preceptors was conducted.
  • Teaching efficacy was evaluated by 64 final-year medical students.

  • An interdisciplinary workshop program, POPPIES, was developed and implemented.

    • Main Results:

    • Rural GP preceptors lacked clarity on curriculum integration and role definition.
    • Preceptors expressed confidence in teaching skills but students reported varied experiences.
    • 15%-25% of students perceived aspects of their attachment as mediocre or poor.

    Conclusions:

    • A clear need and desire for enhanced educational skills among rural GP preceptors were identified.
    • The POPPIES workshops were developed to address these educational needs.
    • Preliminary feedback suggests POPPIES effectively supports rural clinical teachers' professional development.
