Does peer feedback for teaching GPs improve student evaluation of general practice attachments? A pre-post analysis

Objectives: The extent of university teaching in general practice is increasing and is in part realised with attachments in resident general practices. The selection and quality management of these teaching practices pose challenges for general practice institutes; appropriate instruments are requir...
