Abstract:
In the new medical school at Leicester, general practice contributes to the student's curriculum in each of the five years. Most of the clinical teachers are practising general practitioners in the city and county, whose enthusiasm is a major pillar of the course. Teaching methods include role play and small-group teaching involving case presentation. All students are given, in advance of the clinical course, a workbook elaborating the educational objectives and explaining both the content of the course and the reason for the methods used. At present, Leicester is unique in having a separate examination in general practice as a component of finals.
