Daniel Smith,Paul A. Tiffin +1 more
TL;DR: The EPM decile and SJT scores may be effective selection measures for the foundation programme, however, educational achievements does not add value to the other two measures when predicting programme completion, and its usefulness in this context is less clear.

Predictors of fitness to practise declarations in UK medical undergraduates
TL;DR: White ethnicity and UK nationality were associated with increased odds of both conduct and health-related declarations, as were certain personality traits, which suggest students from non-professional backgrounds may be at increased risk of depression and therefore could benefit from targeted support.
Calculated grades, predicted grades, forecasted grades and actual A-level grades: Reliability, correlations and predictive validity in medical school applicants, undergraduates, and postgraduates in a time of COVID-19
I. C. McManus,Katherine Woolf,Dave Harrison,Paul A. Tiffin,Lewis William Paton,Kevin Yet Fong Cheung,Daniel Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Modelling the effect of selecting only on calculated grades suggests that because of the lesser predictive ability of predicted grades, medical school cohorts for the 2020 entry year are likely to under-attain, with 13% more gaining the equivalent of the current lowest decile of performance, and 16% fewer gaining the same as the current top decile.
Situational judgement test performance and subsequent misconduct in medical students
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) to identify candidates likely to exhibit future professional behaviours. But they did not consider how performance on such tests may predict the risk of disciplinary action during medical school.
