The role of formal courses in the vocational training of anaesthetists.
Some of the factors which influence the conduct and the effectiveness of formal courses are discussed. It is considered that the needs and the aims of the trainees and teachers are especially relevant, but sometimes a difference in priorities exists. It is suggested that there should be careful definition of the needs to be satisfied by the formal course and that the educational body conducting the course and the geographical location of the course should be based on those needs. The role of the course supervisor in the organizer-teacher-trainee communication system is especially important.
