What can we learn from undergraduate medical education?
As in undergraduate medical training, postgraduate training of medical specialists requires clear learning objectives, a structured learning process, a challenging learning environment, valid and reliable assessment procedures, and an effective learning organization. One may wonder, however, whether such a structured approach is more theory than practice in the majority, if not all, teaching hospitals involved in graduate medical education.
