Commentary on robust, defensible, and fair: The AMEE guide to selection into medical school: AMEE Guide No. 153
1Chair, Selection Alliance, Medical Schools Council, UK.
Abstract:
The AMEE Guide to Selection for medical school is a welcome addition that provides much sound advice and guidance. It employs a comprehensive framework and a number of innovations, international case studies, for instance. There are also some omissions that a future revision could usefully address. The key ones concern the evidence base for assessment of personal attributes by questionnaire or interview; conflation of two separable stages in selection, meeting minimum requirements for suitability, and discriminating between suitable candidates; how best to provide feedback to candidates; and the question of what counts as a fair, equitable approach to selection. Nevertheless, the new AMEE Guide (No 153) is well-aligned with the most recent Ottawa consensus statement on selection, and will make a good contribution to the development or revision of selection systems in medical schools.
