title: What are you teaching and why?
abstract: What are Universities trying to produce by the end of the medical course? What is the purpose of our clinical education? It is easy enough to say that it is to produce "a good doctor", and perhaps we all know what that means although we might have differing interpretations of what constitutes a good doctor. Perhaps you know clearly what you mean when you graduate a good physiotherapist or a good speech therapist, but we have a lot of uncertainties about this, and about whether somebody who is reasonably good now will also be good in five years' or 10 years' time or even in one year's time when they are practising by themselves and not under our supervision.
