Final year medical students successfully completed self-devised audit projects in general practice, significantly improving their understanding of clinical audit and its value.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • General Practice
  • Clinical Audit

Background:

  • Evolving pedagogical approaches for teaching clinical audit in general practice.
  • Previous methods for teaching audit to medical students at the University of Glasgow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a student-led audit project in general practice education.
  • To assess student and general practice tutor perceptions of the audit teaching method.

Main Methods:

  • Final year medical students developed and executed self-designed audit projects within general practice settings.
  • Students received initial briefing and ongoing support throughout the project.
  • Outcomes were assessed via written reports, student feedback, and general practice tutor evaluations.

Main Results:

  • All students successfully produced high-standard audit reports, with 90.6% reporting improved understanding of clinical audit.
  • Over 50% of students found the project valuable, and 83.4% recommended its continuation.
  • 78% of general practice tutors deemed the teaching method valuable, with 64.4% reporting practice benefits.

Conclusions:

  • Student-led audit projects are a highly successful method for teaching clinical audit in general practice.
  • This approach benefits students, general practices, and ultimately, patient care.
  • The method proved more effective than two previous teaching strategies evaluated.
