In a postgraduate training course in general practice in Hamburg two different educational concepts were used and compared with each other. One was oriented more towards problem-based learning, the other more towards lectures. The participants were asked to fill in a written questionnaire after each day (n = 970) and at the end of the course (n = 26). Both courses achieved good results. On a five point scale the median of the general satisfaction was 4. The problem oriented course, however, was judged better than the other in many respects.
