When prevocational medical trainees become registrars, they have increasing responsibilities for ensuring safe, effective, and timely delivery of health care, while simultaneously performing a number of managerial and leadership roles. Registrars do not currently receive training for their roles as front‐line managers, despite this being an identified need by trainees and the health care workers with whom they interact. The national program for the Professional Development of Registrars is a soundly based, well developed and successful generic program that could be applied in a wide variety of postgraduate arenas.
