Abstract

The qualitative study that the researcher conducted included the participation of 49 fourth-year medical students from two different schools. The use of formative assessment statements served as the primary method for collecting data. In order to examine the data, the researcher used the qualitative content analysis method. It was determined that there were three primary explanations for the GP's problems (GP). They are referred to as "prerequisites," "patients' concerns," and "mastery and professional judgement," and they are representative of the distinctive characteristics of primary care, the presentation of patient symptoms, and the perspectives of general practitioners about actual interactions. According to the students, the characteristics of a competent general practitioner include the following: the capacity to deal with a broad array of patient difficulties; openness and warmth in talking with patients; and straightforwardness in treatment. They looked at patients from a variety of angles and related the information gained from those views to the fragmented character of this area of medicine. The formation of students' views on general practice occurs at this stage of education, making it an essential part of the educational process.
