European family medicine/general practice (FM/GP) has travelled the long and successful journey of profiling the discipline and has produced valuable position papers on education and research. Nowadays, academic medicine is one of the pillars in the future development of FM/GP in Europe. A common European curriculum on undergraduate and postgraduate family medicine is needed. Also, a sound international platform of teaching institutions and/or teachers of family medicine would foster the further development of family medicine as an academic discipline. This would stimulate students and teachers to engage in international exchange to gain new knowledge and experiences, present their work and ideas abroad and prepare the conditions for further exchange of students and teachers.
Established departments of FM/GP, led by a teacher who is a family physician/general practitioner, at each Medical School in Europe should provide students with knowledge and skills related to the core attributes of FM/GP. International exchanges of teachers and students should foster the development of a common curriculum on FM in Europe and foster improvement in the quality of FM education.
欧洲的家庭医学/全科医学（FM/GP）已经走过了漫长且成功的塑造该学科形象的历程，并就教育和研究发表了有价值的立场文件。如今，学术医学是欧洲FM/GP未来发展的支柱之一。需要一个欧洲通用的本科和研究生家庭医学课程。此外，一个健全的家庭医学教学机构和/或教师的国际平台将促进家庭医学作为一门学科的进一步发展。这将激励学生和教师进行国际交流，以获取新知识和经验，在国外展示他们的工作和想法，并为学生和教师的进一步交流创造条件。
欧洲各医学院由家庭医生/全科医生担任教师的既有FM/GP系，应向学生传授与FM/GP核心属性相关的知识和技能。师生的国际交流应促进欧洲FM通用课程的发展，并提高FM教育的质量。
