This guide explores the many possible career paths to becoming a general practitioner in the UK context, with information also applicable to those living outside the UK. Most contributors are general practitioners, medical educators, and trainees from the UK, but a few contributors come from other countries to offer a perspective on international primary care. The book includes career profiles and short reflective essays by real professionals in each chapter, along with checklists, bullet points, and lists of websites. Coverage includes general practice specialty training, salaried jobs and partnerships, academic general practice, professional development, and teaching in general practice. Hutt and Park are affiliated with the University College London Research Department of Primary Care and Population Health. The book is distributed in the US by BookMasters.
