title: The good apprentice in medical education.
abstract: This paper targets both current apprentices and their supervisors drawing on current research to answer the following questions. What is apprenticeship and what are the key elements? What is a good apprentice and what can an intern or registrar do to assist their own learning and development? It takes a pragmatic approach and seeks to assist apprentices and their supervisors by attending closely to what is practicable, realistic, expedient and convenient; articulating this and laying it out as clearly as possible.
