Exploring the crisis in clinical training: looking to the future.
How can the crisis in training be understood? How can it be resolved? A context for this paper is provided in terms of relevant professional and educational policy. A critical review of nationally available data is presented. It will be argued that commonly cited reasons for not offering student placements might have obfuscated underlying dynamics, which are related to the model of education adopted in the United Kingdom. It will be argued that a shift in emphasis in initial and continuing professional education is relevant.
