Abstract:
Selection for specialist training posts is handled in an amateurish way by the NHS. To a considerable extent, future specialists select themselves, but often without sound reasoning. Few specialties have studied what, if any, characteristics are essential or desirable and so are unable to generate either a proper job specification or person specification. These are essential for success when selecting by interview.
