Training practice

At our GP practice we support the maintaining, continuation and improvement of health care in the Netherlands. Therefore we are happy to contribute to the training of new health care providers and are in addition to GP practice also a training practice.

In our GP practice in some periods GP practice assistants are trained and medical students can do their internship. Also there is an AIOS employed.

• student GP practice assistant
  The student learns the profession by taking classes at school and by doing an internship at a GP practice.
  Within the GP practice the student works together with and is under the responsibility of a supervisor of the GP practice.
   
• co-assistant
  A co-assistant is a student Medicine who learns to become physician. For this the co-assistant attends lectures at the university and goes through internships within various disciplines in health care, including a GP practice.
  Within the GP practice the co-assistant carries out consultation hours and consultations. At the end of every consultation the supervisor is also present. The co-assistant is assisted by and is under the responsibility of the supervisor (an experienced general practitioner).
