Abstract

Background: Longitudinal integrated clerkships (LIC) are an innovative method of delivering medical placements as opposed to traditional placement blocks. In 2018, Cardiff School of Medicine introduced the CARER scheme, which is a dispersed immersed LIC1,2, where Year 3 medical students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a community GP practice for 10 months. In 2022, a GMC survey3 found that 50% of foundation trainees found their work to be emotionally exhausting to a‘very high/high degree’ and 39% of these trainees felt ‘burnt out’ due to their work. These figures highlight the need to amply prepare medical students to work in increasingly stressful environments. This work is part of a longitudinal evaluation and follows the first two cohorts as they enter foundation training and seeks to explore how experiencing the CARER scheme has impacted their training experience and perceptions regarding preparedness for practice. In addition, we explore the views and experiences of their educational supervisors. Method: This is an exploratory qualitative study. Qualitative data is generated through semi-structured narrative interviews with foundation doctors who have experienced CARER (n~10) and their respective educational supervisors (n~10). Data will be analysed using thematic and narrative analysis using Nvivo 12 software. Results: Data collection and analysis is underway and will be completed by the time of the academic meeting.
