Abstract

Background and objectives: Little is known about how didactic online learning materials curated by general practice faculty influence medical student impressions of general practice.

Method: Individual interviews and focus group discussions with third- and fourth-year University of Queensland medical students, who had completed their general practice placements, explored student engagement with course materials, and impressions of general practice. Overarching themes were determined by constantly comparing theoretical memos with original data and descriptive codes.

Results: Student decisions whether to use materials were based on perceptions of examinability, efficiency, relevance to their placement and teaching from other specialities. Guidelines (although useful for learning) conveyed the impression that general practice was more algorithm-driven, 'prescriptive' and defensive than other specialities, reducing its intellectual challenge and attractiveness.

Discussion: Online learning materials contribute to student impressions of general practice. Faculty should signpost the value-add of general practice knowledge, anticipate apparent misalignment between observed practice and formal guidelines and include other learning materials that better convey the clinical acumen of general practice work.

背景和目的:人们对全科医学教师编写的在线教学材料如何影响医学生对全科医学的印象知之甚少:方法:对昆士兰大学已完成全科实习的三年级和四年级医学生进行个别访谈和焦点小组讨论,探讨学生对课程材料的参与情况以及对全科实习的印象。通过不断比较理论备忘录与原始数据和描述性代码,确定了总体主题:学生决定是否使用教材的依据是对可考试性、效率、与实习的相关性以及其他专业教学的看法。指南(尽管对学习有用)给人的印象是,与其他专业相比,全科医学更具算法驱动性、"规范性 "和防御性,从而降低了其智力挑战性和吸引力:讨论:在线学习材料会加深学生对全科医学的印象。教师应标明全科知识的附加值,预测观察到的实践与正式指南之间的明显偏差,并纳入其他学习材料,以更好地传达全科工作的临床敏锐性。
