1152 ForsterHolmesIt is a disgrace that those who achieve the lowest academic marks can be awarded the best job opportunities. Interviews and references should be used in selection and not embellished personal statements

1157 SmithaAddalaThe whole system is an absolute farce. Many students have sacrificed their extra-curricular interests in order to become better doctors and now these may the individuals who are the most disadvantaged. Imperial College School of Medicine
1158 AnonymousAnonymousIs there anyone who can honestly say that they would rather be treated by someone who has played on the football team and was president of the tiddlywinks society over someone who has devoted their time and energy to developing their clinical skills and excelling in their exams?

1166 MobyRehmanICSM. While speaking to a consultant about the new applications system, he told me that consultants do not take as much interest in the development of their PRHOs now that they don't have any influence in their selection.

1169 RaksaTupprasootRFUCMS. This is NOT what we signed up for 6 years ago. We now have human resources staff playing with our futures - I wish I was Irish right now.

1171 JennyRogersRoyal Free and UCL Such a lottery! What is wrong with the tried and tested method of applying to any other form of employment i.e CV and interview? It allows for any number of skills, strengths and achievements to be highlighted without a word limit and gives the chance for the individual merits of the candidate to be assessed by the people you will be working with. MDAP simply did not discriminate between candidates enough by restricting them to 'box filling'.

1177 LukeStarlingWe are opening new Medical Schools in the UK and expanding the medical student cohort, but why if the jobs we were promised have vanished on completion of our expensive and intensive 6-year training? Too many of us have been failed by an application system which encourrages students with poor academic and extra-curricular achievements to lie, as the likelihood of achieving a good placement by being 'creative', far exceeds the likelihood that you will be asked to provide evidence of your suggested 'achievements'. Please let those who have designed this abysmal system, where an application fails to discriminate between weak and strong candidates, has no interviews, and is based upon a flimsy website, be held to account, so future medical students do not have to face the same problems.
1178 DominicCarrollIt is obvious that selecting future doctors on how much they can talk about themselves (i.e. their arrogance) is flawed, and will foster a culture that medicine should be moving away from.

1180 RickyBadianiAm in penultimate year of medical school, and am shocked at how such an inept and inaccurate system could have been created, and allowed to replace a system that had worked well for many many years.
1181 GavinO'SullivanThe new system of applying for F1 jobs is a joke. The old system worked well for many years. If it's not broke don't fix it. Medical education grades are surely more important than skill on the sports field.

1186 ColinGallowayIt is sad to see what was once the best medical training in the world become diluted. Ultimately the British people will be the ones to experience the real benefit of MMC.

1194 SteffenMullerThe MMC system does not appear to have been thought through properly. I am not convinced that it will actually solve the problems it set out to solve.

1200 SarahPinnintyI am sure the senior staff are the most capable at selecting the appropriate newly qualified doctors for the appropriate posts.
