Popis: Following the comments of a national evaluation report on clinical clerkships in the Netherlands a consensus procedure was carried out with 116 general practice teachers to define the educational objectives and requirements of the 12-week undergraduate clerkship in general practice. This resulted into 189 educational objectives and 51 educational requirements. To assess the extent to which general practice teachers achieve these educational objectives and requirements measuring instruments were developed. During the academic year 1993/ 1994 all the general practice teachers involved in the clerkship (n=110) were assessed using these instruments. Overall the general practice teachers realize 73% of the educational objectives: 76% of the complaints (problems, symptoms, syndromes), 66% of the clinical skills and 77% of the theoretical dimensions of general practice. The overall adherence score to the educational requirements is 78%. These overall scores might seem satisfactory, but on a more specific level the achievement of many educational objectives and requirements might be improved.
