The questionnaires covered different subjects rated on a scale. The response rate was 61% for JDs and 73% for CREs.

[24-hour nonstop research training course]. / 24-timers nonstopkursus i forskningstraening.

The University of Aarhus and Further Training Region North (Danish: Videreuddannelsesregion Nord) arranged a 24-hour experimental course in research training for junior physicians. Previously, the course has been imparted as three course days with daytime training, but this time it had the form of one 24-hour session. The idea behind the new concept is to combine a high professional content with considerable change in the form of the course. The response from course participants was very positive, and the course organisers are most satisfied with the achieved results.
