The value of masters educational programmes for specialist registrars in rheumatology
Division of Genomic Medicine, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2BR, UK
Abstract
The training of junior doctors has undergone major changes in recent years. There is now more structure, with defined assessment time points leading to a Certificate of Specialist Training. This certificate provides documentation indicating that the trainee has undergone a satisfactory period of training and that they are sufficiently competent to practise as a specialist, unsupervised. The changes have led to re-examination of the role of, and educational provision for, research training as well as clinical training. In this article we review these issues and argue that the development of masters educational programmes may help to address several concerns.
