[In the consultation room, knowledge that must be looked up is more important than ready knowledge].
In the consultation room, it is better to have a doctor that looks something up than one who thinks that he has (or should have) everything at his fingertips. Doctors require ready knowledge, but the rapid changes make it impossible to keep all knowledge at the ready. Training courses must pay attention to the retrieval, assessment and maintenance of (new) professional knowledge. A positive attitude and helpful aids are essential here.
