[Checklist for training and evaluation of consultants can work in a clinical setting].

Formalised educational programmes for consultants are uncommon in Denmark. Our objective was to introduce a checklist for training and formative evaluation for consultants to see if this was a feasible method. Sixteen anaesthesiologists participated. A checklist for the use of a difficult airway device was developed. The consultants observed an experienced colleague use the device and then did the procedure themselves supervised in the clinical setting, and finally taught a fellow consultant how to do the procedure. Afterwards they were interviewed about the training method. Checklists seem a promising method for consultants and may be applied in the future.
