[Strengths and challenges in connection to the clinical education in anaesthesiology:]

Abstract

We performed a qualitative interview study regarding perceived strengths and challenges in connection to the clinical curriculum in anaesthesiology. Medical students and the medical specialists in charge of supervising the clinical curriculum pointed out that the primary strengths were that the staff was committed to tutoring, good general structure and possibility to explore basic and more advanced clinical procedures. Challenges were seen in the current lack of cooperation between hospitals and the general lack of knowledge regarding medical students' curriculum. Future processes for better practice sharing between hospitals should be explored.
