[Guidance in continuing education. Advantage or aggragation?].

Educational counselling was introduced into specialist training in Norway in 1986. As educational counselling is regarded both as the basic structure of the training and the method, the Norwegian training programme has evoked interest in other European countries. Owing to scepticism and uncertainty as to the actual role of educational counselling in practical clinical work, the Norwegian Medical Association's Board for Specialist Education appointed a working group to look into this aspect of specialist training. In conclusion, educational counselling is widely used in all Norwegian training departments, but there is still a potential for improvement.

Training specialists in community medicine in Norway.

In Norway there is a century-long tradition for letting "the combination-doctor" work with both individual curative treatment and preventive health work in the community. A training programme for the medical specialty "community medicine" has been developed, and it requires at least five years of postgraduate training: one year in general practice, one year in a clinical hospital department, three years of guided community medicine in a municipality, four months of theoretical education within epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental medicine, social medicine, planning, economy, and management. Approximately 50% of the 448 municipalities in Norway now employ a specialist in community medicine. The goal is more than one specialist in every municipality.
