Abstract | An analysis of the evaluation by fouth year students of their clinical attachment learning experience in general practitioners' offices was conducted. There was a statistically significant trend towards improved ratings for six items from academic years 1986-87 to 1993-94. Increasingly more students rated very highly the attachment experience and felt it gave them the opportunity to practise and enhanced their learning in the physical examination of a patient, in understanding a patient's health problems in relation to the family and community, in educating the patient, in defining and solving a patient's problems, and gave an insight into the realities of general practice. |
