Linguistically diverse general practice teaching.

Learning in the linguistically diverse General Practice environment can be optimised through an active and collaborative approach between the GP, student, and patients. Our findings highlight specific barriers and facilitators to learning. Our participants identified a variety of techniques, including skills in interpreter use and cross-cultural communication skills which can transcend language barriers, to create valuable opportunities for medical students to learn in this setting. Medical students increasingly experience clinical placements in general practices within diverse communities.
