Abstract
BACKGROUND: Expert generalist practice (EGP) is increasingly being viewed as the defining expertise of generalist care. In Japan, several prominent family doctors consider it important and relevant in the Japanese context. However, no study has examined Japanese family doctor educators' perceptions of EGP. AIM: To explore Japanese family doctor educators' perceptions of EGP. DESIGN & SETTING: A qualitative study among family doctor educators in Japan. METHOD: Focus group interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide following a short lecture on EGP. A qualitative description method was adopted and the framework method was used to conduct thematic analysis. RESULTS: Participants were 18 family medicine doctor educators, including 11 directors and six associate directors of family medicine training programmes. The results suggested that the concept of EGP was important and applicable to primary care in Japan. Participants' perceptions on EGP pertained to the following four areas: impact of EGP, triggers for EGP, enablers for EGP, and educational strategies for EGP. CONCLUSION: The concept of EGP may be useful in clinical practice in Japan, especially in complex patient care. A clearer framework for or description of EGP, and of non-traditional methods, such as ascetic practice and awareness of the self, were proposed as possible educational strategies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
