Description
Summary:The relationship between registrar and trainer functions best when the trainer consciously facilitates the registrars learning and considers all their interactions as educational opportunities. Their role is more that of an educational guide and less that of an authoritarian expert. The registrar and trainer should be aware of their own learning styles and how these may complement or contradict each other. A variety of conversations with different purposes should be structured and planned and not left to chance. A number of methods for observing and collecting the registrar’s clinical experience should be developed and used regularly. Further attention needs to be paid to the development of useful, reliable and valid portfolios.
