An attractive strategy to meet the increasing need for medical education is teaching in community general practice. General practice will be in a position to meet and sustain this need only if various conditions are met, including: Teaching is undertaken in general practice at all levels of medical education (medical student, postgraduate years 1–3 and GP vocational training); Standards and quality of teaching are maintained while the number of sites involved increases; Further Australian research is conducted into innovative models of general practice teaching and their cost‐effectiveness; and Appropriate remuneration and infrastructure is available to support practices and general practitioners involved in teaching.
