Summary
An online seminar series improved medical student exposure to primary care careers. This flexible format showcased diverse general practice (GP) roles, though future sessions aim for more interaction.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Primary Care Research
- General Practice Training
Background:
- Undergraduate medical curricula often lack sufficient primary care representation.
- Academic general practice has limited visibility, hindering student exploration of GP careers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address the under-representation of primary care in medical education.
- To increase student awareness of the breadth and diversity of general practice careers.
Main Methods:
- Developed an online primary care seminar series, modeled on Grand Rounds.
- Co-produced content with students, featuring narrative accounts from GPs and academic GPs.
- Delivered sessions live and made them available asynchronously.
Main Results:
- Participant feedback highlighted value in exposure to novel primary care areas and career insights.
- The online, flexible format enhanced accessibility and participation.
- Some participants desired increased interactivity within the online sessions.
Conclusions:
- The online seminar series effectively increased student engagement with primary care.
- Future iterations should focus on enhancing interactivity and broadening topic coverage.
- Further research is needed to assess long-term impacts on career choices.

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
