University general practices in Australasia.
The nature of the general practice departments in the medical schools of Australian and New Zealand universities, and the role of general practice conducted by these departments, are discussed. A number of arguments for, and against, the establishment of university general practice units, and comments on these, are listed. A greater involvement in the general practice and primary care units by the university departments over the next decade is predicted.
