[Educational project at the medical department, Fredericia Hospital].

Introduction: The purpose of this project was to introduce a newly developed educational program consisting of a new concept with metacompetences. Our aim was to evaluate the need for new educational methods and to clarify the educational capacity of our clinic.
Materials and Methods: The duration of the project was two years; it was allocated to pre-registration house officers. Part one of the project was a systematic evaluation of the functions of each department, with a focus on educational capacity. The next stage was to introduce new methods into the departments. The project focused on the metacompetences for communication and collaboration evaluated, using a system of supervised rounds. A newly developed questionnaire using a visual analogue scale was used for feedback to the officers in training.
Results: The new educational methods scored high in the evaluation, and the pre-registration house officers were able to achieve all the competences in the education program.
Conclusion: The implementation of the system took place without major difficulties, and the extra workload allocated to the department was minimal.
