Metode: Analiza relevantne literatureizvedensko vodena delavnica s skupino \u27odličnih študentov\u27 (N=9) zadnjih dveh letnikov splošne medicine na Medicinski fakulteti v Ljubljani. Rezultati: Študijski program splošne medicine v Ljubljani na podlagi rezultatov analize odgovorov anketiranih študentov, študentov ne pripravi v zadostni meri za: motiviranje in vodenje bolnikov, sposobnost empatije (vživljanja) z ustrezno čustveno distanco, obvladovanje timskega dela, ne vpliva pa dovolj na razvoj komunikacijske usposobljenosti. Zaključek: Študij splošne medicine v Ljubljani bi moral posvečati več pozornosti razvoju od situacije odvisne usposobljenosti in socializiranju študentov v to obliko učenja. To bi bilo mogoče tako z uvedbo posebnih učnih predmetov kot z organiziranjem posebnih modulov v okviru izvajanja obstoječe študijske prakse.Objective: To determine to what extent the general medicine training programme at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, impacts the development of key competences of future medical doctors.
