TL;DR
The perceived quality of instruction hinges on supervision, which is not only the variable most strongly related to instructional quality, but which also affects both the patient mix and students’ independence.
Abstract
Supervision, patient mix and independence are crucial factors for learning in general practice. This is consistent with findings in hospital settings. The perceived quality of instruction hinges on supervision, which is not only the variable most strongly related to instructional quality, but which also affects both the patient mix and students' independence.
