More medical schools are moving towards a compulsory intercalated BSc. These courses have not traditionally been aimed at those students interested in general practice and have tended to have limited clinical relevance. This paper explores the perceptions of students who undertook a BSc in primary health care using qualitative methodology comprising semi-structured interviews with students just before completion of their course. Interviews were undertaken with 24 of the 26 students who started the course over a 4-year period. All the students have finished the course and have graduated with good honours degrees. Students refine existing skills and develop new, relevant skills for medicine. The students discussed the prestige (or lack) of a BSc in this field and how the course has impacted on their career decisions. A Primary Health Care BSc such as this appears to give students an in depth and to some, a positive view of general practice and primary care. The course allowed students to develop a more critical approach to medicine and enabled them to develop skills in addition to those acquired from their undergraduate medicine course. They perceived that these skills will serve them throughout their career in whatever branch of medicine they choose.
越来越多的医学院校开始推行必修的插读理学学士学位课程。传统上，这些课程并非针对那些对全科医疗感兴趣的学生，而且往往临床相关性有限。本文采用定性研究方法，即对即将完成课程的学生进行半结构式访谈，来探究修读初级卫生保健理学学士学位的学生的看法。在四年期间开始该课程的26名学生中，对其中24名进行了访谈。所有学生都完成了课程，并以优异的荣誉学位毕业。学生们完善了现有的技能，并培养了与医学相关的新技能。学生们讨论了该领域理学学士学位的声誉（或缺乏声誉的情况）以及该课程对他们职业决策的影响。这样的初级卫生保健理学学士学位似乎让学生对全科医疗和初级保健有了深入且在某些方面积极的看法。该课程使学生能够培养对医学更具批判性的方法，并使他们除了从本科医学课程中获得的技能之外，还能培养其他技能。他们认为，无论他们选择医学的哪个分支，这些技能都将在他们的整个职业生涯中发挥作用。
