Workshop title: Active life-long learning in CAP - Why you don’t have to worry there will be nothing left to learn once you are a CAP
Abstract:
Background: Postgraduate training in CAP is to prepare trainees for a life as specialists. In an ever-changing world that means adapting to new contexts and demands and opportunities. That requires a commitment and a mindset – but also tools that should be developed in postgraduate training.
Methods: After an overview of relevant learning theories we look at a model to support trainees in assessing their own learning preferences, prioritizing and designing learning initiatives in line with organizational needs and evaluate learning outcomes in an iterative process. We will discuss and test feedback on these skills.
Expected learning outcomes: Participants will acquire a tool to assess their own learning needs as a basis for negotiation with their organisations – to disseminate further into CAP training in their own contexts.

Lecture title: Administrative load: a millstone for CAP trainees? - Methods to balance record keeping and clinical work
Abstract:
Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests that trainees at the beginning of their careers hope to achieve a balance of talking to patients versus administrative duties of 80/20, but over the course of training have to settle with a 50/50 equilibrium. Despite a rapid increase in digitalisation of electronic mental health records and more efficient ways to communicate with colleagues and patients, administrative duties seem to have overtaken. On the up-side administrative processes may have increased patient safety or provide better insight in management of care. However, a balance with too little direct patient contact is likely to have a direct effect on the capacity of the system as a whole and may have implications in physician well-being and thus efficiency in the long run.
Methods: This workshop will first stimulate trainees to explore their own potential administrative millstones using a brief online questionnaire on their view and experience as well as motivation of administrative duties versus other tasks during their own clinical training. The results of this survey will then be presented real-time. A short presentation will be given including potential venues to influence time spend on administrative processes on the micro level (personal time-management, talking to and negotiating with supervisors), meso-level (policy of the ward or training centre) and macro-level (advocacy and influencing health insurance companies and policy makers). The workshop will proceed with small-group discussions allowing all trainees to make a personal plan of change if needed.
Results: In this workshop trainees will explore their own administrative balance, pinpoint potential milestones, gain knowledge of what they can do at different levels to change and if needed make a personal plan.
Conclusion: Administrative load is a potential millstone that may affect training and care efficiency and physician wellbeing. Reflection on administrative load early on in the career of a trainee has potential positive effects on both.
