The aim of this research was to provide an understanding of medical students' attitudes towards and perceptions of the PHC approach, and this was done using mainly qualitative methods, namely focus groups, interviews, and one questionnaire. This research also investigated students' views of the way in which the PHC approach was taught, their understanding of the PHC approach, what could influence students' views of the PHC approach, the appropriateness of the PHC approach in South Africa, their opinions of the fact that UCT has a PHC-driven MBChB curriculum, their views of the role of doctors in the PHC approach, and a number of other related issues. The main findings were that students enter their medical degree with an expectation of a biomedical emphasis and a lecture-based curriculum. 2014-11-08T08:06:07Z 2014-11-08T08:06:07Z 2005 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9357 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
