Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Medical Education
  • Postgraduate Training

Background:

  • UK rheumatology training has evolved with new educational strategies and junior doctor hour reductions.
  • Despite changes, concerns persist regarding the quality of postgraduate rheumatology training programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Assess trainee perceptions of core and subspecialty rheumatology training quality.
  • Evaluate the impact of workload on training experiences and identify demographic variations.
  • Determine educational strategies favored by trainees for enhancing their professional development.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to specialist registrars at the BSR Annual Meeting.
  • The survey was subsequently mailed to all registrars on the Joint Committee for Higher Medical Training list.

  • A reminder was sent after four weeks to maximize response rates.

    • Main Results:

    • Positive ratings for routine patient care, musculoskeletal examination, and injection skills training.
    • Negative ratings for training in primary care rheumatology, epidemiology, pediatric rheumatology, and sports medicine.
    • Reduced junior doctor hours and increased workload negatively impact training; workshops and debriefing sessions are favored educational strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • Changes in working patterns and service commitments have affected rheumatology training quality and time.
    • Significant efforts are required to improve training quality and meet educational objectives within budget constraints.
