In the Netherlands, most universities use a lottery system, weighted by average examination grades, to admit students to medical school. However, the political climate for pre-entry selection procedures is changing rapidly. A study by the University Medical Center Rotterdam revealed that pre-entry selection reduces the medical school drop-out rate during the first years of medical training. This is an important observation. It is plausible that students selected by pre-entry selection are more motivated than students selected by a lottery system. However, it is unknown whether these students will also display better professional behaviour and skills in their future careers. Further research is required to determine which of the cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics relevant for predicting students' success in their future careers should be included in the assessment to optimize the selection procedure.
在荷兰，大多数大学采用一种根据平均考试成绩加权的抽签系统来录取医学院的学生。然而，入学前选拔程序的政治环境正在迅速变化。鹿特丹大学医学中心的一项研究表明，入学前选拔降低了医学培训头几年的医学院辍学率。这是一项重要的观察结果。通过入学前选拔录取的学生比通过抽签系统录取的学生更有动力，这是合理的。然而，这些学生在未来职业生涯中是否也会表现出更好的职业行为和技能尚不清楚。需要进一步研究以确定在评估中应纳入哪些与预测学生未来职业成功相关的认知和非认知特征，以优化选拔程序。
