title: Academic general practice in Australian medical schools.
abstract: This paper reports on a survey of the current state of academic general practice in the ten Australian medical schools. Despite its lack of resources, low profile and ambivalent acceptance in Australian medical schools, academic general practice has survived. Its problems and potential contribution for producing better doctors are outlined and discussed.
