Teaching Medicine in the Community A Guide

This book is for all those who teach general practice to medical students, both those based in academic departments and 'service' general practitioners. It aims to combine the theoretical basis for teaching with practical material, and explores the extent to which general practice can and should take on teaching, which is traditionally carried out in hospitals (e.g. basic clinical skills training).
