The Medical Student Survey Report was completed by GPRA + a Working Group of GPSN members 💪

Great work!

Myth 10: GPs only picked general practice because they didn’t get into any other medical specialty

That's it. That's the thread. ✌️

Myth 7: GP’s don’t do any procedures 
Myth 8: General practice is dominated by old, male GP’s 
Myth 9: GP’s sit in a boring clinic all day and don’t practice exciting medicine

Myth 4: General practice is just coughs, colds and referrals
Myth 5: GP’s don’t earn much money
Myth 6: General practice is all touchy-feely

Myth 1: General Practice isn’t a specialty
Myth 2: You’re just doing GP for the ‘lifestyle’
Myth 3: General practice is easy!
