Abstract
It is not primarily certain whether physician performance improves with increasing time of practice. This review summarizes empirical data from educational and expertise research in the field of medicine. In the field of physical capabilities and knowledge base, performance declines with age. As a counter-development organization of knowledge becomes more efficient by the increasing ability to identify specific patterns (illness scripts). What kind of resulting performance develops from these diverging principles is dependent on the approach and attitude towards the respective domain. Conditions promoting a positive development are the use of deliberate practice, an active behaviour in seeking feedback and the development of a realistic self-directed fashion of self-assessment.
