SUMMARY:The GP Supervisor toolkit: identifying and managing struggling students
DESCRIPTION:Aim of meeting:\nThis webinar is relevant to both new and experienced GP supervisors who are involved in\, or interested in\, teaching and supporting medical learners\, including medical students within the general practice setting.
