Introduction. There is ample evidence to support the importance of general medicine as a field of study in ensuring both individual and collective health, as well as the necessity of including ...general medicine teaching in degree programs in Medicine and Surgery. Additionally, Early Clinical Exposure (ECE) is an effective and widely recommended learning method. The feasibility, acceptability and applicability of an Elective Teaching Activity in general medicine for second year Medicine and Surgery students were verified. Methods. With the aim of increasing student awareness of the function of general medicine in the NHS and encouraging future conscious decision-making, the initiative called for four theoretical-practical sessions on the GP's skills followed by a two-week clerkship at their clinic. The project's development was tracked through closed-ended and open-ended surveys. Results. The conclusion that the experience has exceeded expectations and that the view of many things has improved comes out in the exit questionnaires nearly unanimously and represents an indirect measure of learning. Additionally, results show that, even in the second year, it is possible to acquire comprehension of the clinical situation in the field, aiding in the application of previously retained theoretical information and inspiring students to pursue the profession. Discussion. The learning environment of the second year of the degree course in Medicine and Surgery has proven to be viable, appreciated, and relevant for this mixed classroom/clinical setting of learning.

Numerose evidenze sottolineano il ruolo chiave che la medicina generale, disciplina accademica, svolge nel garantire la salute individuale e collettiva, e la necessita di inserire il suo insegnamento nei curricula del corso di laurea in medicina e chirurgia. Inoltre, il coinvolgimento precoce degli studenti di medicina nella pratica clinica (ECE) e un metodo di apprendimento efficace e consigliato. Si e pertanto attuata una Attivita Didattica Elettiva (ADE) in medicina generale, della quale si e voluta verificare la fattibilita, l'accettabilita e l'applicabilita nei contesti formativi agli studenti del secondo anno del corso di laurea. Metodi. Il progetto ha previsto quattro lezioni teorico-pratiche sulle competenze del MMG seguite da un tirocinio di due settimane presso il suo ambulatorio, con l'obiettivo di rendere gli studenti piu consapevoli del ruolo della Medicina Generale nel SSN e favorire la futura scelta consapevole di tale percorso professionale. L'andamento del progetto e stato monitorato attraverso questionari a domande chiuse e aperte. Risultati. I questionari di uscita suggeriscono la quasi unanime considerazione che l'esperienza ha superato le aspettative, e che la percezione di molti aspetti e migliorata, e cio e un indicatore indiretto di un apprendimento. Inoltre, si nota come anche al secondo anno sia possibile avere una comprensione della situazione clinica sul campo, aiutando nel calare nella pratica le conoscenze teoriche apprese, e motivando gli studenti alla professione. Discussione. Questa modalita di apprendimento misto aula/setting clinico si e dimostrata fattibile, gradita, e applicabile nel contesto di apprendimento del secondo anno del corso di laurea in Medicina e Chirurgia.
