Abstract

Because of new social and professional challenges, especially in the developed countries, there is a trend towards change and quality assurance is taking place in medical education over the past 20 years. In Heidelberg, the new way of teaching the students by general practitioners includes quality assurance by questionnaires, reports of practice visits, quality conferences of the teachers, and co-operation of the students. 90% of the students recommended the practice-based structured program as very useful, especially the work with the patients in the general practices, 87% of the teaching general practitioners accepted special criteria for teaching; by this way an academic general practice can be established to meet the future expectations of primary medical care.
