Trainee interns positively impact primary care quality, benefiting patients and staff. However, general practitioners face increased stress, and adequate compensation is crucial for sustaining medical student teaching in practices.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Primary Care Research
  • Health Workforce Studies

Background:

  • General practices are increasingly involved in teaching medical students.
  • Trainee interns, or sixth-year medical students, undertake placements in primary care settings.
  • Understanding the impact of these trainees on practice dynamics is essential for effective medical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effects of trainee interns on general practices.
  • To assess the perceptions of general practitioners, practice staff, and patients regarding trainee intern involvement.

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide study in New Zealand involving 30 general practices.
  • Postal questionnaires were distributed to general practitioners, nurses, receptionists, and patients.

  • Data collection focused on perceived advantages and disadvantages of trainee intern presence.

    • Main Results:

    • Most general practitioners, nurses, and receptionists reported benefits like teaching enjoyment and satisfaction.
    • General practitioners experienced increased stress and reduced productivity, with some finding remuneration insufficient.
    • Patients perceived improvements in care quality and communication, though experienced longer wait and appointment times.

    Conclusions:

    • Trainee interns can enhance the quality of primary care services.
    • Disadvantages for healthcare professionals and patients exist, necessitating consideration.
    • Fair compensation and support are vital for the sustainability of community-based medical education.
