Summary The objectives for undergraduate experience in general practice vary little from school to school although the timing and duration of attachment does. Students' views of the relevance and achievement of these objectives to a two‐week attachment in the final year of St George's Hospital Medical School's old curriculum are shown to differ from those of their GPs. The implications of these differences for planning undergraduate learning in general practice are discussed.
