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.

Medical Education

Computer-assisted learning (CAL) has been introduced as part of the undergraduate teaching course in general practice during the penultimate year of the medical course. The student is given an opportunity to make clinical decisions and to manage a case over a significant time scale. The attitudes of the students are favourable to this method of instruction.

An elective period in general practice has taken place in Glasgow for a number of years, but until 1976 it was arranged during the students' Easter vacation. In the summer term of 1976, students in the fourth year of the new curriculum were given the opportunity to choose a senior elective in general practice as a formal part of their course. Forty practices in rural, semirural and urban areas were willing to be involved for a four-week period. Some were singlehanded dispensing practices but the majority worked in groups or from health centres. All offered a wide range of experience in general practice.

A series of models in computer assisted learning (C.A.L.) is being developed in Glasgow. These models become progressively more statistical and give the student an insight into the way in which the clinician uses information in the clinical situation to make decisions. The first model is expressed in terms of a detailed case history covering the presentation, investigation, diagnosis, treatment and further management of the patient and involving social and psychological aspects of illness in addition to organic disease. At present the undergraduate course is biased towards acquirement of knowledge, whereas the work of the qualified doctor is concerned with accomplishment. With adequate experience the first leads to the second. C.A.L. is an attempt to compress this process.

A system of recording booklets had been introduced for fifth-year students during their course of teaching in general practice. The booklets guide the student in his study of the development, presentation and future prognosis of patients with chronic and complicated disease in the community. The students abilities and the teaching were assessed using case histories in a system of computer assisted learning.

The analysis of 1,098 calls to a commercial deputizing service during a period of four weeks is described.

The undergraduate teaching of childhood illness in the community is described. This teaching includes a cross-section of acute childhood illness together with some contact with handicapped children in their own homes. Although there were only four teaching sessions, the frequency of conditions studied approximated to that in general practice

... " There is some evidence that patients enjoy and benefit from this in the short term by reduced antibiotic and tranquilliser prescribing for minor illness and more health promotion activity. 18 In the longer term, the student's education will be reflected in better patient care because they have learned from the experience. Costs to the patient however arise from the difficulties associated with having a stranger in the consulting room during a potentially intense dialogue. ...

... Our literature search yielded a total of 3978 documents, which collectively accumulated 35,104 citations (Figure 1), reflecting a CPP of 8.82 and h-index of 65. The first paper on this topic was published in Lancet in 1976, reporting the experimentation of computer-assisted learning among 5th year medical students at Glasgow University [24]. The study reported that 79 out of 80 students were keen to have further such tuition. ...

... Applying corpus to English teaching can provide rich context for learners and is good for the language knowledge construction for the learners [1][2][3] The idea of making use of rich context of corpus to assist learners to accomplish active construction for language knowledge and the idea of teaching design based on constructivism stressing the important function of "context" for meaning construction is consistent. Researches about corpus in recent years have achieved great development, but there is certain technical difficulty in the application of powerful English corpus [4][5][6][7]. Therefore, in the mainly applications in abstract linguistic research field, dictionary compilation field as well as propositional work of important examinations, the majority of teachers lack necessary understanding of corpus [8]. ...

... References to CAI first appeared in the general medical literature some 25 years ago [12], and in the radiology literature during the early 1980s [13]. Soon thereafter, researchers and educators were calling for diagnostic radiology to assume a leadership role in the development and implementation of CAI [14], noting that radiology education depends on repeated exposure to visual images and therefore lends itself quite naturally to the use of computer aides [15]. ...

... /^NE of the criticisms levelled against the Doctor's ^^ Deputizing Service (DDS) is that using it tends to increase the demand for out-of-hours calls. However, previous studies of the DDS have tended to describe all calls undertaken over a fixed period for a large number of different practices (Pinsent, 1970; Williams et al., 1973; Gabriel, 1976; Murray and Barber, 1977), and studies in which general practitioners have dealt with their own out-of-hours calls have been for a defined practice list and have reported the results in rate of calls per 1,000 patients per year. My study aimed to investigate a single practice which used the DDS. ...
