This innovative four-year graduate entry medical program, run by the Universities of St Andrews and Dundee, emphasizes primary care education and includes a Generalist Clinical Mentor (GCM) role, where experienced generalist doctors guide students through their training. Feedback indicates that the GCMs are effective educators, and ScotGEM students perform comparably to those in traditional medical programs, suggesting the success of this primary care-focused educational model. Early surveys of graduates show a strong interest in pursuing careers in general practice and other generalist specialties. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: questions and answers Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
