Review of a 1993 survey of the 29 United Kingdom departments of general practice (or equivalent) identified seven master's degree courses available for general practitioners. Up to another 11 are planned within the next five years. Around 50 general practitioners undertake all such courses at any one time. Possible reasons for this low uptake include cost, lack of flexibility of courses, and the prospect of writing a thesis. Appropriate master's courses are essential to the future development of general practice, and this paper postulates the characteristics of an "ideal" course.
对1993年英国29个全科医疗部门(或同等部门)的一项调查进行回顾后发现,有七门硕士学位课程可供全科医生学习。在未来五年内还计划增设多达11门课程。任何时候大约有50名全科医生参加所有这些课程。参与率低的可能原因包括成本、课程缺乏灵活性以及撰写论文的前景。合适的硕士课程对全科医疗的未来发展至关重要,本文假定了一门“理想”课程的特点。
