title: Induction down under.
abstract: An Australian hospital revamped its induction arrangements for new interns (the equivalent of pre-registration house officers in the UK) in response to negative comments about the traditional programme. The programme was rebuilt to meet their challenge--the result being both more practical and more enjoyable. The three major components of the new programme were skills stations, intern shadowing and a treasure hunt.
