Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The main aim of this study was to reach consensus between students, faculty and general practice teachers on the educational objectives and requirements of the clerkship in general practice. METHOD: The consensus procedure consisted of four steps and all active general practice teachers (n = 116) were asked to participate in the study. RESULTS: We identified 189 educational objectives: 127 complaints (problems, symptoms, syndromes), 29 clinical skills and 37 objectives concerning the theoretical dimensions of general practice. Educational requirements crystallized to 16 essential preconditions of a teaching practice and 35 didactic activities to be performed by the general practice teachers. CONCLUSIONS: These consensus results will be used to structure the medical curriculum and as guidelines for the educational process during the clerkship.
