TI  - Structured packs for independent learning in the community.
PG  - 61-5
AB  - A range of structured learning packs (SLIPs) has been developed for third-year 
      medical students undertaking a community medicine firm at King's College School 
      of Medicine and Dentistry (KCSMD). The aim of the packs is to provide materials 
      for independent learning by students to complement teaching by general practice 
      tutors. An approach to the development of this method of learning is described. A 
      tutor working alongside students designed, tested and revised exercises that were 
      developed into learning packs. Tutors who piloted the packs found that they 
      offered flexibility and versatility in a general practice setting. The active 
      learning exercises were enjoyed by students, who particularly valued tasks that 
      fulfilled a genuine practice need. The packs allowed tutors and students to use 
      their contact time more effectively by promoting discussion of concepts and 
      issues rather than basic clinical information. A formal evaluation programme is 
      planned with the aim of extending use of the packs onto other clinical medical 
      firms.
