Core values and principles of general practice and family medicine: perspectives of German GP residents—a cross-sectional study
The study identified deficits in the active and passive knowledge of GP/FM core values among GP residents. An educational compact intervention about GP/GM core principles and values proved successful in its realization and implementation. To become a reflective practitioner in FM, GP residents must engage in self-reflection on evidence-based medicine, attitudes, core values, and principles. Therefore, core values should be addressed at the beginning of FM training and constantly referred to within the longitudinal curriculum. Family physicians should be continuously empowered to explicitly reflect on and discuss the core principles that shape their professional identity.
