Abstract
This paper argues, from the perspective of a medical student, for management training in medicine. The author suggests that medical students in the UK are ill‐prepared for working — as a house officer in the first instance, or as a manager at any level. Training should include administrative skills and personal organisation, financial management and the management of work relationships. In order to remedy these weaknesses, medical education will need to include learning to be part of management and doctors will have to train in a system which takes management seriously.
