Why could it difficult to be a studentat general
medicine?

• Patients come with symptoms, not
• well defined illnesses.
• Patients present their symptoms
• according to the meaning it gives
• the person
• The prevalence of diseases is different from what
  the students have experienced in hospitals
• There might be several ways to deal with a
  problem

To create respect for general medicin we

• have to be able to clarify the core issues
• and values of general medicine to the
• student
• have to clarify how we combine
• bio-medical education, tacit knowledge,
• patter recognititon and intuition when
• handling our patients.

5
How on earth should we be able to do that?The
questions that arose were

• How much should a basic doctor
• know about general practice?
• Could we as teachers agree about this issue?
• Which kind of teaching would promote the aims we
  agreed on?
