title: [Trainee feedback: trainer assessment].
abstract: The quality of medical specialty education depends highly on the trainers, i.e. the specialists. Trainees are very important in the assessment of their trainers because they continuously undergo all the important aspects of the training. Currently, periodical announced visits take place, creating a formal atmosphere. A regular, semi-structured questionnaire for the trainees would be a better way of evaluating the program. Additionally there should be a thorough follow-up leading to a system with a process of continuous quality improvement.
