JCST Selection Project • Professor David Rowley
The team • David Rowley – Director of Education RCSEd • Fiona Patterson and her Work Psychology group • Adrian Woodthorpe – Head of examinations RCSEng • Chris Munsch - Chair of steering Group
Aims of the Project • To get sign up to a series of events and activities designed to aid in the development of Good Practice in selection of people to train in surgery • To form a Faculty of Selectors who will provide ideas and leadership for the surgical community • To do so from the outset in partnership with Trainers and trainees
Some Ground Rules • We intend to illustrate Good Practice, not enforce best Practice or uniformity where unnecessary • We need to represent the whole of surgery to include Run through, Core and Themed concepts of training • We must accommodate the whole of the UK and not just one model
General summary • Something like a seven station model – 3 interviews and 4 other selection centre stations • Scope for centre and speciality variation within the model • We wish to collect and analyse activity • Provide advice and training • End up with specific deliverables
Additional work on shortlisting tools • Shortlisting is a process of reducing the number of applicants to manageable numbers • This is a competitive and therefore normative process • It must be fair and transparent • It must recognise those who deserve the best opportunity as selection progresses • It should pick out the best from the rest…
Shortlisting fears • We do not have control over whom is short listed • We might miss very good candidates • We could be lumbered with people we do not want and then we can’t get rid of them…
Work so far • We have been piloting a machine marked test which explores attitudes and judgement • We assume at ST3 all have the requisite knowledge tested by MRCS and ARCPs • The aim is to shortlist a largish group who can then be short listed in greater detail by experts
Ownership • JCST will act as the conduit and will communicate with DoH who are funding us • We expect to share anonymous data • JCST will publish collectively on behalf of the partners • Individuals will not have reasonable access to data denied to them but JCST should be contacted so we all share
