Internationally, there is a move towards strengthening primary healthcare systems and encouraging community-based and socially responsible education. The development of doctors with an interest in primary healthcare and family medicine in the African region should begin during undergraduate training. Over the last few years, attention has been given to the development of postgraduate training in family medicine in the African region, but little attention has been given to undergraduate training. This article reports on the 8th PRIMAFAMED (Primary Care and Family Medicine Education) network meeting held in Nairobi from 21 to 24 May 2016. At this meeting the delegates spent time presenting and discussing the current state of undergraduate training at 18 universities in the region and shared lessons on how to successfully implement undergraduate training. This article reports on the rationale for, information presented, process followed and conclusions reached at the conference.
在国际上,正朝着加强初级医疗保健系统以及鼓励基于社区和具有社会责任感的教育的方向发展。在非洲地区,培养对初级医疗保健和家庭医学感兴趣的医生应从本科培训阶段开始。在过去几年里,非洲地区对家庭医学研究生培训的发展给予了关注,但对本科培训的关注却很少。本文报道了2016年5月21日至24日在内罗毕举行的第8次初级医疗保健与家庭医学教育(PRIMAFAMED)网络会议。在这次会议上,代表们花时间介绍并讨论了该地区18所大学本科培训的现状,并分享了如何成功实施本科培训的经验教训。本文报道了会议的基本原理、所呈现的信息、遵循的流程以及得出的结论。
