What would you do instead? If there's about 7000 grads applying for about 6500 jobs, and all the jobs are more or less the same, how do you pick the right people? Interviews won't be any better- as how do you make sure they treat everyone fairly if different interviews are done by different people?

Subject: Pilots - proposed system..any thoughts?

Im wondering why no one has mentioned that the powers that be who thought up this new SJT thing must be so out of touch with the real world
 
right - so u have descriptions of various situations and u're meant to rank what you do MCQ style? so there's going to be a "right answer" for every scenario?
 
Can already see that it's going to be a farce like all the rest of the crap that being proposed in medical education these days - if pple saved their money from paying pple with overinflated salaries to conduct these studies/meetings/research and screwing them up repeatedly, we might be able to afford more cleaners and better hospitals!

The pilots will not affect the current system in anyway. You will still be allocated your scores as normal and during the pilots no scores obtained by those taking part will be used to allocate any places on the foundation programme. These scores will be used for analysis only and will help determine whether the proposed system is the best way forward.
 
Therefore, this will not affect any decision you make to move from X medical school in X deanery to Y medical school in Y deanery.
 
I hope this is clear. Any questions please let me know

Do you know that it will affect you if you are at X medical school in X deanery but want to move to Y deanery where Y medical school isn't piloting the scheme. I really want to move out of my area but worry that if my medical school is chosen to participate in the pilot that I will find it hard to match people who didn't pilot in my chosen deanery... does that make any sense?!
 
Thanks

What does everyone think of the proposed system? I think it looks like it should be slightly fairer for students as it is worrying that some people get lots of outside help and that this could be a disadvantage for those of us that don't get help.
 
Slightly worried that it's another test but they have said we cant revise for it so maybe in the long run it will actually save us time.
 
Any thoughts?
