dc.description.abstractENGLISH SUMMARY: Background: Value added medical education is where medical students add value and capacity to the health care delivery system, whilst being educated to become medical practitioners, who will serve similar communities in the future. Stellenbosch University (SU) medical students have been doing Community Based Education (CBE) since 1990 and have been visiting various Primary Health Care (PHC) sites in the Cape Metropole for training. Aim: This research aims to explore the value medical students add to PHC facilities in the Cape Metropole. Setting: The study was conducted in the Cape Metropole from January to April 2022. Methods: This was an exploratory qualitative research study. Interviews were conducted with Family Physicians (FPs) at the facilities where SU students attend as part of their training. Results: The medical students add value to educational processes of staff, patient care, the multidisciplinary team, the community and the health system. The FPs have challenges with increasing student numbers and limited infrastructure. Conclusion: The FPs have expressed how having students at their facilities enrich the patient experience, create a culture of learning and have challenged FPs to stay abreast with the latest medical developments. While the increased number of students poses some challenges to the mentor and the limited PHC infrastructure, medical student training at PHC facilities does not only add value to patients, the community, the multidisciplinary team and the PHC staff but also to the health system as a whole, introducing new ideas and navigating change.en_ZA
