Cultural Attitudes towards General Practice within Medical Schools: Experiences of GP Curriculum Leaders
CONCLUSIONS: Cultural attitudes towards general practice were diverse: a spectrum varying from valuing general practice to overt denigration, with a 'hidden curriculum' of subtle undervaluing of general practice. Hierarchical, tense relationships between general practice and hospital were a recurring theme. Leadership was identified as important in setting the tone for cultural attitudes, as well as indicating general practice is valued when general practitioners are included within leadership. Recommendations include a shift in narrative from denigration to mutual speciality respect between all doctors.PMID:37437257 | DOI:10.1080/14739879.2023.2225477
