[Research in general practice. Plea for organized and high quality clinical research by general practice physicians in Switzerland]

Abstract

The clinical research in the practitioner's office is indispensable for the teaching of the medicine of first recourse. On the basis of the analysis of 109 publications, the authors propose to structure this research under the shape of investigator's networks while guaranteeing an interface between the primary care physicians and the academic specialists. To realise this network, an institutional support is necessary.
