Analysis of both the content and process of examinations is central to planning the appropriate education and training of examiners in paediatric clinical examinations. This paper discusses the case for developing training, reviews the current literature, and suggests the desirable attributes of examiners and the components of a training programme. Potential areas of further research are also considered.
