Nordic Congress Cph May09 Holtedahl Summing up  It is challenging but gratifying to practice so many different forms of teaching, more or less inter-active, in lectures, seminars, group work, skills practices including both communication and clinical examination.  Guiding principles are goal-setting and activating the students. This is common to academic teachers, GPs teaching students in surgeries, and probably for all medical teachers.

Nordic Congress Cph May09 Holtedahl The Tromsø policy  Every GP group practice in our region is a potential arena for student teaching!  Every student is a potential GP in our region  Students choosing other career specialties should receive GP teaching that creates possibilities and a desire for future co-operation
