Abstract

It is timely and necessary to consider what Postgraduate Medical Training Programme outcomes are, how they are defined and revised over time, and how they can be used to align health professional performance with the healthcare needs of society. This article which addresses those issues, with specific reference to training in anaesthesiology, was prepared using a modified nominal group (or expert panel) approach.
