    • The program has expanded significantly since 1978, now training 120-130 students annually with over 100 GP teachers.
    • Key student activities include direct patient interaction, record-keeping, and daily feedback sessions.
    • The PMT-GP model is defined by its intensive, structured, and supportive learning environment.

    Conclusions:

    • The PMT-GP program effectively integrates general practice into medical education.
    • The curriculum successfully familiarizes students with primary care through practical experience.
    • The program's model fosters comprehensive understanding and skills in general medical and primary care.
