SummaryEighteen tutors appointed to the Department of General Practice at Dundee were visited. They provided information for a study to determine the degree of their involvement in the Department. A structured questionnaire standardized the interview and the results are described. The study showed a considerable level of success in integrating this group of practitioners into the teaching activities of the Department. Results also suggested that some educational objectives were not clearly defined, and surprisingly there appeared to be an underuse of this group of motivated teachers.
