Abstract

Background. A comparison was made between the Dutch national objectives for the education of medical doctors (in terms of clinical experiences and skills) which are stated in the Blueprint, and the extents to which the objectives were realized in six clerkships at the Faculty of Medical Sciences in Groningen. Methods. From each clerkship, 40 complete logbooks were analyzed. Results. On the average, the clerkships did not fully meet the national objectives, but they did offer clinical experiences and skills that are not mentioned in the formal objectives. Students varied significantly in their clinical experiences. Conclusions. The design of the clerkships should be improved to make them more concordant with national goals. This relates to both cancer education and medical education in general.
