“…Fatigue is known to increase clinical error and burnout, and overload in GPs has become more common during the last few decades 19 . A recent UK review of general practice involvement in undergraduate medical education suggested that teaching was becoming a greater source of professional stress for GPs 20 . In a large USA survey study, 47% of participating primary care doctors agreed with the statement: ‘Precepting a student in my practice increases my overall stress level.’ 8 By contrast, a 2006 systematic literature review of research into job satisfaction among GPs reported that involvement in medical student teaching, especially lecturing to medical students, was one of three key positive factors 21 .…”

The findings extend reports in the previous literature by offering a richer description of current GP-teacher experience. Participants identified teaching rewards in a manner largely consistent with previous research, with the exception of enhanced practice morale and teamwork. Findings confirm that reduced productivity and increased time pressures remain key perceived negative impacts of teaching, but also reveal a number of other important costs and challenges. They emphasise the diversity of GP experience and practice cultures, and the need for teaching to enhance both GP and patient perceptions of consultation quality without increasing the load on the GP-teacher. Recruitment and retention strategies should promote the rewards of teaching, and teacher training should respond to the costs and challenges of practice-based teaching, and facilitate the growth of GPs in their role as clinical educators.

“…As general medicine gains prominence, articulating its core principles and indispensable role in healthcare becomes more critical. It plays a crucial bridging role between community and tertiary care settings, demanding a clear exposition of its value proposition to budding medical professionals [21,22]. This study underlines that general medicine isn't merely a passing trend; it embodies age-old practices centered on continuity, tradition, and a deep-rooted connection with communities [23].…”

BackgroundGeneral medical education plays a pivotal role in ensuring holistic care in the context of rapidly aging populations. Japan's demographic trends underscore the significance of general medicine in elevating community care standards. Understanding and catering to the aspirations, perceptions, and ideals of medical students and residents can significantly augment the effectiveness of general medicine education. This research aimed to explore the perspectives of medical students on the ideal tenets of general medicine education in rural Japan. MethodA qualitative approach was employed, focusing on medical students and residents with a keen interest in general medicine, all of whom underwent training at a rural-based Japanese hospital. Through semistructured interviews, insightful data were garnered and subsequently subjected to a comprehensive thematic analysis. ResultsThe thematic analysis unearthed three core themes: commitment of educators in valuing learner diversity, promotion and understanding of general medicine, and inclusivity and diversity in educational institutions. The first highlighted the centrality of educators' sincerity, emphasizing the importance of genuine, sustained interactions that foster mutual respect and collaborative learning. The second theme underscored the need to elucidate the intrinsic value and modern-day relevance of general medicine, emphasizing its deep roots in community-based practices and its continuity with long-standing medical traditions. The third theme spotlighted the crucial role of comprehensive medical education in fostering enriching dialogues, embracing varied learning experiences, and capitalizing on the distinctive strengths of educational institutions. ConclusionThese findings underscore the pivotal shift required in pedagogical approaches to comprehensive medical education. A genuine collaborative educator-learner relationship, the reframing of general medicine's significance rooted in community welfare, and a strong emphasis on inclusivity and dialogue form the cornerstones of these insights. This study provides a touchstone for restructuring educational strategies, aiming for a more integrated, genuine, and encompassing framework that is particularly vital for the effective propagation of general medicine in regions such as Japan.

“…The medical course, within its traditional competences, had its knowledge based on Hospital Medicine for a long time, through specialized technological and scientific domain, for the future medical doctor' knowledge construction 11 . However, in 1978, the World Health Organization identified and recognized PC as an essential and fair way of guaranteeing the right to health for all 12 , since the holistic view towards the individual and the community is its central aspect 13 .…”

O presente estudo objetivou analisar a importância da inserção dos estudantes de Medicina na atenção primária e o Sistema Único de Saúde desde os primeiros períodos através da disciplina Integração, Ensino, Serviço e Comunidade por meio de um relato de experiência, abordando a vivência de seis alunos do curso de Medicina do Centro Universitário Tiradentes do 1º ao 8º semestre. Como principais resultados, foi o observado que a inclusão do estudante de Medicina desde o primeiro período nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde, auxilia na formação de médicos mais humanizados, proativos, responsáveis e conscientes acerca do Sistema Único de Saúde. A união da teoria com prática possibilita um conhecimento mais consolidado, e este conhecimento pode ser propagado para a comunidade que os acolhe. Com isso, a disciplina viabiliza não só uma melhor formação do médico generalista, mas colabora também na melhoria da rede pública de saúde.
