Learning outcomes

By the end of the course unit, the student will be able to: present clinical cases and complex situations encountered in general practice in a structured manner; analyse these situations by drawing on the knowledge and skills relevant to the practice of general medicine; explain and justify their clinical reasoning and decisions through discussion with peers and supervising physicians; develop a critical and reflective approach to their own practice, particularly by comparing and discussing it with that of their peers and supervising physicians; participate actively, constructively and respectfully in collective reflection on situations arising from clinical practice; identify the limits of their knowledge and practice, as well as their learning needs.

Goals

To support students in developing their general practice through a reflective approach based on the presentation and discussion of clinical situations encountered in practice. To foster the development of clinical reasoning, constructive discussion of different practices and perspectives, and students’ ability to question and justify their decisions. To contribute to the development of a professional attitude based on active listening, respect, collaboration, and the ability to recognize the limits of one’s own knowledge and practice.

Content

Seventeen three-hour seminars held throughout the academic year. The seminars focus on clinical situations and issues encountered by students in their general practice. Their content covers the various dimensions of general practice, including clinical reasoning and decision-making, the patient-doctor relationship, ethical and professional considerations, as well as the challenges and uncertainties inherent in clinical practice.

Teaching methods

Interactive seminars are conducted in small groups of approximately 10 to 15 students and facilitated by two experienced general practitioners. Drawing on presentations and complex situations encountered in clinical practice, students and facilitators engage in peer discussion and exchange to foster clinical reasoning, reflective practice, and the collaborative construction of learning.
