Abstract

The new medical curriculum and specialization in the Netherlands are discussed. In Leyden a 'peripheral clinic' has been established where 128 GPs work together with the university. The idea of a junior co-assistants hip of only 3 days in the second year is introduced. The student gets a mentor (GP) and a family in the practice of his mentor. He visits this family several times a year during 4 years. The subject of 'choice-education' is discussed and a description given about the system of 'medical problem solving' as it is used in Leyden.
