We are the King’s Undergraduate Medical Education in the Community (KUMEC) Team, led by Professor Anne Stephenson. As the Community Campus we deliver GP-based teaching for the GKT School of Medical Education. We are also part of the School of Life Course and Population Sciences, so we have close links with Primary Care Research. We co-ordinate, support and promote medical education in community contexts, working with a network of around 200 teaching general practices and additional independent GP tutors. We aim to develop caring, professional doctors, who can reflect on and direct their own lifelong learning, applying evidence-based guidelines to help patients make informed decisions.
