Een duobaan in de specialistenopleiding: niet automatisch een fraai duet

- Part-time work is an increasingly common phenomenon amongst medical professionals. Therefore many postgraduate training programmes for resident physicians also offer the opportunity of part-time work, which is usually in the form of an 80 full-time equivalent post. A new initiative has created the possibility of job-sharing, in which each of the participants fulfils 50 of one training position. Although the experience of the participants is mainly positive, it is unclear how this development will impact the quality of patient care and how it will affect the fulfilment of the training objectives. A more systematic evaluation of job-sharing in postgraduate medical training programmes is required to clarify these points.
