Unaccredited registrar positions are a significant source of inefficiency in postgraduate medical training. Their educational value is debated due to a lack formal supervision, appraisal or assessment requirements. In the context of increasing numbers of trainees and escalating demand for public hospital services, the extent to which unaccredited registrar positions can be converted to accredited training posts warrants urgent examination.
