Learning objectives describe what you, as a doctor, should understand, know and be able to do after completing your practical training. The learning objectives have been developed by the Norwegian Directorate of Health, with input from the Norwegian Medical Association. All learning objectives are prescribed by regulations. The new Specialist Regulations require that all learning objectives related to the relevant specialty must be approved by a manager before you can apply for specialist approval.

Learning activities are activities that LIS doctors must complete to meet a learning objective. The learning activities are determined by the health trust and may include, for example, courses, internal teaching, performing procedures, self-study and participation in clinical practice.

As an LIS doctor, you must document all completed learning activities on an ongoing basis and request approval of learning objectives in the Competence Portal. The Norwegian Directorate of Health requires that all learning objectives be approved before you, as an LIS doctor, can apply for specialist approval. Learning objectives are to be approved by a manager based on completed learning activities and information from a supervisor and at least one clinical supervisor.
