Using learning conversations in the practice

Combining the best available evidence with the patient’s preferences and the physician’s clinical expertise is key to practicing evidence-based medicine. In general practice training, these skills can be learned at the workplace using learning conversations: meetings between the supervising GP and GP trainee to discuss medical practice, selected topics or professional performance.

In a study involving 22 GP trainees affiliated to GP training institutes in the Netherlands and Belgium the trainees reflect on their learning conversations. Read the findings for trainees and supervisors in:
