Table 1 Explanation of career paths as graduated doctors
From: Adaptability and learning Intraprofessional collaboration of residents during the COVID-19 pandemic
In the Netherlands, medical graduates can continue their careers in medicine in different ways [14]. Most of them apply for a job as ‘doctor not in training’ or apply for a medical residency program. In the position of a ‘doctor not in training’ they work as doctors under supervision of a medical specialist but do not receive education as part of a training program. When admitted to a medical residency program, they become ‘doctors in training’ and they will be trained to become medical specialists. Their primary way of learning is Workplace Learning (WPL) [14, 15]. |
