[The 3-hour meeting concept: an organisational approach for involvement of junior doctors in education]

Abstract

In an 850-bed Danish University hospital, "3-hour meetings" provide junior doctors with three hours within normal working hours for discussing training with an innovative purpose. The meetings are followed-up by dialogue and action throughout the organisation. The junior doctors get many of their training initiatives implemented. The Head of Department obtains information, which is used for prioritisation of educational initiatives. At hospital level, an overview of education as well as sharing of knowledge and educational vision is achieved.
