All 115 graduates qualifying at Liverpool University Medical School in one year were sent a questionnaire in the final week of their preregistration year to assess the experience they had gained.Of the 105 graduates (92%) who replied, 99 (94%) considered the supervision that they had received to be adequate, 89 (85%) received most of their teaching from other junior doctors, and only 47 believed that they had learnt a considerable amount from their consultant colleagues. Half of the doctors received litde or no training in terminal care. Although 100 (95%) felt competent in dealing with various medical emergencies, cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills were less developed; only 71 (68%) were confident in using a defibrillator, and 37 (35%) considered themselves to be competent in dealing with cardiac arrhythmias. A fifth ofthe doctors found interviewing relatives stressful. Ofthe 105 doctors who replied, 77 (73%) thought that their preregistration experience had had little or no effect on their choice of career. IntroductionThe General Medical Council recommends that when graduates qualify they should have enough knowledge "to assume the responsibilities of a preregistration house officer" and have developed "the professional skills necessary to deal with common medical emergencies."' We report on a survey carried out among house officers to provide a subjective assessment of how well these aims had been fulfilled by the end of their house year.
