During the last few years there has been some criticism concerning the medical training of young doctors. The present study analyses the satisfaction with the medical training (hospitals and general practices) in 401 courses of medical training in the county of West Zealand, Denmark, during the years 1995-1997. The 401 courses resulted in 3136 statements with respect to satisfaction. Only 4.9% of the statements was "discontent", 16.5% "somewhat content", 36.4% "content" and 42.3% "very content". The 4.9% with the statement "discontent" was especially related to the introduction to place of education, focus on medical training and the theoretical lessons. In conclusion the present study revealed general satisfaction in young doctors with the medical training in the county of West Zealand.
RELIS Vest provides drug information by answering questions from mainly physicians and pharmacists. In the present paper we evaluated this service. All questions to RELIS Vest during the 1995-98 period were systematically categorized and analysed. The quality of the service was assessed by evaluation forms. Of a total of 875 queries, 393 came from physicians and 370 from pharmacists. 42% were about psychoactive drugs; the most frequent types of queries concerned documentation and adverse effects. Analysis of 180 evaluation forms showed that 79% of the physicians and 56% of the pharmacists found the answers fast enough, relevant, adequately comprehensive and with valuable references while 16% of the physicians and 29% of the pharmacists found that the answers satisfied three of these four criteria. We conclude that problem-oriented drug information based on actual cases of prescribing is highly appreciated.
