'I feel many of my reflections are forced': International medical graduates' perspectives on reflection in UK general practice training: a mixed methods qualitative study.

Background: UK general practice training requires trainees to evidence clinical competencies through reflective writing entries in online portfolios. Trainees who complete their medical degree in the UK experience reflection as an undergraduate, whereas 80% of international medical graduates (IMGs) have no previous experience of reflection.

Aim: To explore IMGs' perspectives on the positive and negative aspects of reflection in the context of postgraduate GP training.
