Use of recording booklets to evaluate teaching in general practice.

Recording booklets have been introduced for students during their course of general practice teaching at the University of Glasgow. The booklets guide the students with patients in the community who have chronic and complicated diseases. Each case history in the booklet was marked and this provided an evaluation of the teaching. This showed an improvement in the students' overall ability but was most marked in the areas of social history and problem list, thus fulfilling the aims of the teaching.

Symptom prevalence in the community.

The prevalence of physical symptoms among a sample of patients registered at a health centre is described as recorded from home interviews. The number of physical symptoms per person is then correlated with personal characteristics and environmental factors, using computer programmes.

Family Practice

Medical undergraduate teaching of paediatrics in the community.

The undergraduate teaching of childhood illness in the community is described. This teaching includes a cross-section of acute childhood illness together with some contact with handicapped children in their own homes. Although there were only four teaching sessions, the frequency of conditions studied approximated to that in general practice

Introduction of recording booklets in general practice teaching.

A system of recording booklets had been introduced for fifth-year students during their course of teaching in general practice. The booklets guide the student in his study of the development, presentation and future prognosis of patients with chronic and complicated disease in the community. The students abilities and the teaching were assessed using case histories in a system of computer assisted learning.

Computer-Assisted Instruction

Computer-assisted learning in undergraduate medical teaching.

A programme of computer-assisted learning has been introduced for fifth-year medical students at Glasgow University during the teaching course in general practice. The programme allows students to make decisions on all aspects of patient care, and has the potential for combining a learning situation with an objective evaluation of skills and attitudes. The programme is popular with students and could have considerable potential in medical education.

Attitudes towards the content of general practice teaching.

In a study of attitudes towards the content of general practice teaching, it was found that there was good agreement between fifth year medical students and their general practitioner tutors. The social aspects of illness were considered the most important by students and both groups emphasized the value of seeing patients in their homes with time for discussion of cases. These findings are discussed in the context of the development of teaching in general practice at Glasgow University.
