During the last few years there has been some criticism concerning the medical training of young doctors. The present study analyses the satisfaction with the medical training (hospitals and general practices) in 401 courses of medical training in the county of West Zealand, Denmark, during the years 1995-1997. The 401 courses resulted in 3136 statements with respect to satisfaction. Only 4.9% of the statements was "discontent", 16.5% "somewhat content", 36.4% "content" and 42.3% "very content". The 4.9% with the statement "discontent" was especially related to the introduction to place of education, focus on medical training and the theoretical lessons. In conclusion the present study revealed general satisfaction in young doctors with the medical training in the county of West Zealand.
