“…In general, encounters with patients triggered GP trainees to further research and memorise the clinical picture [ 27 , 28 ]. GPs regard communication, the continuity of care and the doctor-patient relationship as core values [ 5 , 29 , 30 ]. Particularly, managing ambulatory patients is perceived to align with competencies that GPs need to develop, as is also recommended by the EURACT guidelines [ 5 , 25 , 29 ].…”

“…This could also help them to inform patients in the future when working as a GP. In a GP-setting, trainees develop a holistic and patient-centred approach [ 29 ]. Therefore, GP trainees felt disconnected during their hospital training from the values of general medicine [ 27 , 29 ] and lacked a sense of belonging in the hospital because they felt isolated [ 29 , 30 ].…”

Background In Europe, hospital training is integrated in the postgraduate curriculum of General Practitioners (GPs) according to the European Directives. However, little is known about the specific learning objectives of GP trainees during this training. Objectives This exploratory study investigated GP trainees’ expected learning objectives for their hospital training and the factors influencing the learning process. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted in three focus groups consisting of first-year GP trainees before their hospital training. Data were coded thematically and analysed in NVivo. Results A total of 22 Belgian GP trainees (55% females, average age of 26.2 years) were interviewed. Three major themes emerged: learning objectives, factors influencing learning and organisational aspects. GP trainees mainly wanted to improve their knowledge of common conditions by conducting consultations and follow certain patients’ hospitalisation trajectory. Emergency medicine or internal medicine was the preferred specialty. Other GP trainees wanted to learn more about some specific conditions. Conversely, an overloaded work schedule was dreaded to hinder effective learning. Regular meetings and supervision from their hospital trainer were deemed crucial to strengthen GP trainees’ learning trajectory. Conclusion GP trainees wanted to learn more about both common conditions and some specific conditions. Their previous year in a GP setting strengthened their confidence and facilitated purposeful learning. Relieving GP trainees from administrative tasks when working as supplementary doctors could strike a better balance between the continuity of the clinical department and their personal learning objectives.

Objective Trainees or medical residents’ experiences of hospital rotations and training have not been sufficiently studied. More empirical holistic studies of experiences of General Practice/Family Medicine (GP/FM) residents in Sweden are needed. The purpose of this study was to describe experiences of hospital rotation during residency. Design Empirical-holistic study. Setting GP/FM residents were invited by email to participate in the study. They could describe their experiences anonymously by answering two questions via an esMaker internet survey. Analyses of the responses were carried out with content analysis as the analytical methodology. Both manifest and latent responses were analyzed. Subjects Fifty-nine GP/FM residents participated in the study. Main Outcome Measure The results identified four main topics: structure, resources, effects, and constructive supervision. Results GP/FM residents experienced hospital rotations as effective when there was a structured schedule and adequate time allotted for introduction and meeting patients. Hospital rotations that lacked, or had unstructured, supervision caused uncertainty and insecurity, which led to rotations being experienced as less beneficial, which was, from a GP/FM perspective, not constructive. Conclusion The study suggests that family medicine residents required a structured and planned schedule during hospital rotations. This study may contribute to increased quality of hospital rotations during residency as a family physician.
