title: Clinical examination of medical students in general practice.
abstract: As a trial a group of medical students underwent an oral examination in general practice. The results from the trial period are discussed, and the conclusion is that oral examination in a general practice setting is feasible and valid, but also time-consuming. It is suitable for testing the students' skills in communication and problem-solving, but also allows the testing of attitudes and knowledge.
