Educational Research in Primary Care: addressing the challenges through creation of a Special Interest Group and a Doctoral Student Network.

摘要

This month, we return to a key Hot Topic in the discipline of Academic Primary Care, namely recognising the essential role of Education and Teaching at the heart of excellence in primary care (Rosenthal et al., 2011). Two new groups within the Society of Academic Primary Care (SAPC) seek to respond to the challenges of providing high-quality collaborative research in primary care education. Here, we introduce the Special Interest Group in Educational Research (SIGER) along with the new Doctoral Student Network and consider their contribution to promoting the SAPC goal of research and teaching excellence within primary care in the United Kingdom.
