BACKGROUND: General practice registrars are a diverse group of doctors, each with a unique set of learning needs. This diversity sets training providers the challenge of identifying the learning needs of individual registrars early and then tailoring their educational programs to meet those needs.OBJECTIVE: This article describes the development of a multicomponent learning needs analysis tool designed to better identify registrars' learning needs in both knowledge content and attitudinal areas.DISCUSSION: The accurate identification of registrars' individual and common learning needs allows the creation of more appropriate learning plans and the tailoring of shared educational activities to suit both individuals and the group.
