Summary: Selection in medical education and training is crucial and needs to be robust, fair, and cost-effective. However, there is a lack of comprehensive guidelines for setting up or improving the selection process. To address this, our guide provides practical advice based on research, international case studies, and common dilemmas. We use the ADDIE model to frame the activities involved in designing, implementing, and evaluating an effective medical school selection system.
