    AbstractOne hundred junior doctors were asked to complete a questionnaire about the training they had received in the use of problem lists. A questionnaire was sent about the training in the use of problems lists at their medical school to the Deans in all 27 British medical schools. Of the 100 junior doctors, 57 reported that problem lists 'had hardly been mentioned' at their medical school. In contrast only one of the 24 Deans who responded thought that problems lists were 'likely to be hardly mentioned' at his medical school. After graduation only 35 junior doctors had worked for a consultant who had demanded the use of problem lists and only 17 of these had worked for more than one such consultant. Most junior doctors have received little training in the use of problem lists as undergraduates and even fewer as postgraduates. Few consultants demand the use of problem lists.
