Use of recording booklets to evaluate teaching in general practice.
Recording booklets have been introduced for students during their course of general practice teaching at the University of Glasgow. The booklets guide the students with patients in the community who have chronic and complicated diseases. Each case history in the booklet was marked and this provided an evaluation of the teaching. This showed an improvement in the students' overall ability but was most marked in the areas of social history and problem list, thus fulfilling the aims of the teaching.
