Logical priority suggests that the first stage of a research project into postgraduate training for general practice should be devoted to the assessment and selection of trainees. Miller (1968), for instance, in his outstanding ‘Teaching and learning in medical school’, devotes his first chapter to the problem of student selection and assessment. Charvat, McGuire, and Parsons (1968), in their succinct review of examinations in medical education, also address an opening chapter to the selection of students. The central importance of student assessment in medical education can be readily ascertained by even the most cursory scrutiny of the literature. The work of Gottheil and Michael (1957) and Farnsworth, Funkenstein, and Wedge (1955) are good examples of research work concentrated exclusively on student assessment. McGuire (1967) and Charvat et a1 (1968) have shown, however, that assessment methods in research and practice show great variety. A good example of a major American approach to the general problem of student assessment is provided by the publications of the Centre for Research and Development in Higher Education, Berkeley University of California. Examples of contemporary approaches in Great Britain are those of Furneaux (1961), Petch (1961), Oliver (1962), Barnett and Lewis (1963), Drever (1967), and Butcher (1968). Some writers have approached the problem by examining the relationship between GCE and degree results (Barnett and Lewis, 1963), and others between degree results and career success (Gross and Hudson, 1958). Another approach is based upon the use of aptitude tests (Oliver, 1962;

Medical education in the past decade has become increasingly concerned with what educational science can contribute to the training of physicians. Although several programmes over the years have been designed to serve such an end (Miller, 1961 and 1962; Rosinski, and Miller, 1962; Ericksen, 1964; Husted and Hawkins, 1963; Seegal, 1964) none has emphasized the development or refinement of teaching skills : theory has been emphasized rather than practice. Yet a great deal can be taught and learned about the 'art' of teaching. Those educators charged with training elementary and secondary school teachers have been concerned for many years with teaching instructional skills. Recently they have been experimenting with such new approaches as microteaching to improve upon the conventional 'student' or 'practice' teaching that has had only limited success. Medical education, however, in its explorations of the interface between medical teaching and education science, has placed little emphasis on the skill components of instruction. The workshop described herein is a pilot attempt to correct this deficiency. The emphasis is on performing instructional skills, not on listening to or reading about them. The workshop's rationale is based upon the application of principles of learning skills to a

During the past two decades, along with the growth of higher education a highly developed mythology has emerged about the kind of person who gains a university place. Part of this mythology was given credence in the 1950s by Floud, Halsey, and Martin (1957), and their findings were endorsed in the 60s by, among others, Jackson and Marsden (1962), Little and Westergaard (1964), Bernstein (1969, and the Committee on Higher Education Robbins Report (1963). These researchers were mostly concerned with the social class factor in selection. But the mythology about medical schoql selection is at once more complex and more subtle, for it embraces a number of factors closely correlated with class but which may nevertheless be the downfall of the highest born. In this paper, I want to examine a number of the more prominent factors in relation to a sample of unsuccessful applicants. The type of school the rejects went to; certain forms of extra-curricular activity ; positions of prestige or authority in the school; encouragement from staff in their application; and the place of home residence. (This list includes some of the topics recently revived and fiercely debated in the journal of the Junior Hospital Doctors’ Association, On Call [1970].) As far as I am aware, comparable data for medical students is available for only three of these five areas. In view of this situation it seems reasonable to examine the characteristics of unsuccessful applicants for the relative absence of those qualities which the mythology deems necessary and the presence of those which may be a hindrance to acceptance. At the same time, it is worth looking at factors
