Adult learning principles were used to involve the interns in a highly interactive process in a non­threatening environment. Evaluation of the programme was done using a feedback questionnaire, an interactive session between the interns and the coordinating faculty, and a pre­ and post­test evaluation. The questionnaire involved subjective assessment of the quality of the programme, the faculty and time management, and invited the interns to suggest ways of improving the programme and making it more target­oriented. A qualitative asse ssment was done by the faculty members involved and the interns were encouraged to express their opinions in an informal environment. The pre­ and post­test evaluation consisted of 30 questions that tested theoretical knowledge and clinical problem­solving skills. The questions were derived from the content covered during the programme. Issues such as blood transfusion and medico­legal and ethical concerns were included.
