However, we agreed to consider the papers and materials prepared by the members of the group with regard to three main themes: (i) education for scientific and critical thinking; (ii) two aspects of clinical communication, doctor-patient communication (teaching and evaluating interview techniques) and communication with regard to problems which are eventually disturbing to the student and doctor, such as human sexuality and death, dying and terminal care; and (iii) communication between health professionals, in speaking to each other and writing for each other. We will summarize some of our conclusions and recommendations. (a) We are talking about new types of subjects rather than new subjects, arising from a concern with the problems and deficiencies of health care, rather than from specialist or discipline pressure groups; they aim to offer new skills and attitudes based on analyses of health care problems. They are function-oriented rather than traditional disciplineoriented. Just as most of our countries have suffered in recent years from financial and economic inflation, so there is a real problem of curriculum inflation, which is one of the forces leading to ‘innovations’ which may not be needed, useful, or even new. New subjects and disciplines, developing within the health professions, demand time in the curriculum to establish the importance of the discipline and its teachers and proponents, so the number of topics in the curriculum increases steadily. Already established subjects often seek more time, to increase and protect their importance and power within the medical school system. As high prestige professional positions are generally associated with multiple educational qualifications and long years of training -so groups of health professionals seeking higher prestige may attempt to get it by insisting on longer periods of training, and more qualifications, even if these are not directly relevant or contributory to their actual health care practice. Finally, as educational qualifications are used too often as the controlling gateway through which people can move up to positions of greater privilege in society, inflation occurs, reducing the value of the qualification itself. In a developing country, for example, where few people gain an education, you can get quite an important position and quite a well-paying job with just a junior school-leaving certificate. That certificate becomes the selective gateway determining access to promotion. But when very many people have that certificate, its value drops, like the pound or the lira. Now you may sweep the streets if you possess that certificate. But if you want a higher or more senior job, you need a higher certificate. When too many people have this, then a University degree is necessary-and so on.

The selection criteria touched on in the discussion were academic performance, personal attributes, intelligence testing, personality testing, life experiences, individual and group interviews. There was a wide range of selection criteria represented in the group-all the way from none (as in the case of Ireland and Italy), through a reliance on academic performance and life experience (as in the case of Sweden and Norway) to the more elaborate admission procedures of McMaster (academic achievement, personal attributes, individual and group interview) and Hadassah Medical School (academic achievement, intelligence and personality testing and the personal interview). The question of academic prerequisites disclosed a wide variation, from those existing in the Swedish system (Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Chemistry) to the McMaster system, which had essentially no specific prerequisites. The medical students questioned the retention of the Swedish prerequisite under the new system. As for the issue of academic performance level itself there was general agreement that this criterion should be retained, although there was no agreement on such questions as to (a) how it should be determined, (b) the weighting that should be ascribed to it in the selection process, and (c) what other criteria should be used to complement academic achievement. The suggestion was made that the reliance on ‘objective’ school marks in some instances might be a way of shielding the selection process from a wide variety of political influence; some of the students proposed a system of student selection on the basis of minimum academic level plus lottery. One process problem emerged during the discussion concerning the students’ current preoccupation with their efforts to find ways of changing the system in which they were currently operating, to make it more innovative and more responsive to their perceived educational needs. Their frustration stemming from the apparent lack of change made it difficult for them to address themselves to the issue of student selection. At this particular time, it was felt that: (a) selection procedures should be adapted to the educational and societal needs of the school or the community in which it has to function; (b) methods of selection cannot be changed without inducing necessary changes in the educational programmes and in teacher attitudes towards their roles; and (c) longitudinal evaluation studies should be initiated subsequently, in order to determine whether or not the new admission procedures have in fact some predictive value towards the professional ability of the emerging graduate.
