Basic medical education

No specific new developments. Article in Dutch scientific paper on sexual harassment in medical education by Prof dr Toine Lagro (general practitioner in Nijmegen University), confirming reports from Anders Baerheim.

Vocational training

Further development of several instruments for the evaluation of competencies, and the assesment of professional behaviour. In the light of possible shortage of general practitioners in 5-10 years the suggestion has been made to cut back the training scheme to 2 years.

The heads of VT departments want exchange of knowledge; contacts with other schemes. They look to Euract as a change agent, a linking pin for their activities.

Health care

General practitioners are still fighting with the government about the terms of a new contract. There is a lot of confusion about agreements reached, and on the consequences of that new contract: 30% drop in income !?

Euract

I have been quite busy with the paper on Educational research, the Euract guidelines and the revised Constitution.
