Near-peer learning at undergraduate level has the potential to introduce students to a career in general practice. The Wass Report suggested the need to provide enthusiastic role models within general practice, and this was the stimulus for the introduction of a near-peer general practitioner (GP) mentoring scheme at University College London (UCL) Medical School.The UCL Medical School GP mentoring scheme was introduced in the academic year of 2019 enlisting UCL GP training scheme doctors to pair up with UCL medical students to meet face-to-face and discuss a career in general practice. Following the end of the scheme, a mix of focus groups and semi-structured interviews were used to provide an insight into the students' experiences of the mentoring scheme.This evaluation focused on the perceptions, experiences and insights of the medical students who participated in the GP near-peer mentoring scheme and considered their views about a career within general practice. The evaluation considered the students' perceptions of their trainee as a role-model figure.
本科阶段的近龄同伴学习有潜力引导学生投身全科医疗事业。《瓦斯报告》提出需要在全科医疗领域提供热情的榜样，这成为伦敦大学学院（UCL）医学院引入近龄同伴全科医生（GP）指导计划的契机。UCL医学院的GP指导计划于2019学年推出，招募UCL的GP培训计划医生与UCL医学生结对，进行面对面交流，探讨全科医疗事业。该计划结束后，通过焦点小组和半结构化访谈相结合的方式，深入了解学生对指导计划的体验。本次评估聚焦于参与GP近龄同伴指导计划的医学生的看法、体验和见解，并考虑他们对全科医疗事业的观点。评估还考量了学生对其培训生作为榜样人物的看法。
