Procedures to select medical specialist trainees aim to predict which junior doctors will become the best specialists. A 1998 review of Australian postgraduate selection processes recommended use of the principles of good assessment. Australia has expertise in national procedures used by medical schools to select students for undergraduate and graduate courses, but little experience in national specialist training program selection. A system for selection into postgraduate general practitioner training, based on a national "selection-centre" approach used in the United Kingdom, is being piloted in Australia. Initial evaluation shows the piloted system to be feasible but further evaluation is needed. Any selection-centre approach must be adapted to the Australian health care context and have the confidence of the trainees, the professional colleges, the training providers and the public.
选拔医学专业住院医师的程序旨在预测哪些初级医生将成为最好的专家。1998 年对澳大利亚研究生选拔程序的审查建议使用良好评估原则。澳大利亚在医学院选拔本科生和研究生的国家程序方面拥有专业知识，但在国家专科培训计划选拔方面经验有限。一种基于英国全国“选拔中心”方法的研究生全科医生培训选拔系统正在澳大利亚试点。初步评估表明试点系统是可行的，但需要进一步评估。任何选拔中心方法都必须适应澳大利亚的医疗保健环境，并得到住院医师、专业学院、培训提供者和公众的信任。
