A questionnaire survey was carried out among senior clinical teachers at Newcastle upon Tyne Medical School, UK about their current practice and attitudes toward the teaching of medical audit in the undergraduate curriculum. A response rate of 88% was achieved. Less than a fifth of respondents provided such teaching, but the majority were in favour of seeing the topic introduced. A variety of teaching methods were used, and feedback from students was generally favourable. A number of concerns were expressed, including the problem of curriculum overload, the timing of the teaching, and the need to ensure that the learning was experiential with a minimum of theoretical teaching. Those who were in favour of introducing such teaching, or who were unsure, were also concerned about pressures on curricular time, but some felt in addition that the topic was more appropriately a postgraduate one. A short attitude scale demonstrated a skew towards favourable attitudes among the whole group. The implications of the survey for teaching about audit and quality are discussed.
