Since the start of the Swedish National Research School in General Practice, 120 Swedish PhD candidates in general practice have been admitted to the school, out of whom 89 during the first 10-year period. We have evaluated the academic achievements of the 53 (60%) PhD candidates that finished their thesis 2011-2020 by a questionnaire and bibliometric data collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. The questionnaire was answered by 52 (98%) and showed that 45 (87%) had continued with research work after their dissertation. Ten (19%) had done a post doc and four (8%) had become associate professors, out of whom one (2%) was a full professor. We found 519 peer-reviewed scientific publications authored by the alumni. The co-authors of these publications were affiliated all around the world, mainly in Sweden, followed by Australia and Germany. The National Research School will continue to strive towards increased quality of primary care research.
