Abstract:
The methods of allocation of house officer posts at British medical schools were investigated by postal questionnaire. Three categories were found: a free market, a matching process between student and consultant preferences, and the use of in-course assessments, the matching process being the most popular. Many medical schools had changed their method of house officer allocation since 1969, but often with unsatisfactory results.
