Abstract:
Postgraduate deans in one UK region have developed a competence framework for selection of specialist registrars. This paper describes the process by which this was developed and adapted to 62 specialties. Evaluation demonstrated high levels of acceptability for applicants and to a lesser extent for selectors. An external review confirmed that the process was in keeping with good employment practice.
