title: [The role of practitioners in pre- and postgraduate education of internal medicine and general medicine].
abstract: The gap between medical teaching based on hospital experience and ambulatory medical practice is widening. This may be one of the reasons why the number of students who are candidates to be trained in internal medicine and/or family practice is now decreasing. Some of the means which could help to reverse this trend (increased use of ambulatory settings, increased interaction between students and practitioners, development of research in medical practice, stronger links between internal medicine and family practice) are discussed.
