The selection of students for medical education: select bibliography, 1970‐75

Summary The problems of student selection are constantly in the mind of medical school administrators and medical teachers. When reviewing current policies there is clearly a need to study the recent journal literature, but the term ‘student selection’ is not a subject heading in Index Medicus; consequently no convenient listing of journal articles on this important topic is readily available. To assist administrators and medical teachers a bibliography has now been prepared. The references are taken from Index Medicus 1970‐75 and presented here in a quick‐reference alphabetical format. To the list has been added World Health Organization publication EURO 6203 which is considered an important document on the subject. The bibliography therefore provides a concise reference to the recent literature on student selection for medical education.
