Modernising Medical Careers: let's get it right second time around

摘要

Baroness Ilora Finlay's recent editorial (JRSM 2007;100: 160-161)1 provides an excellent account of the failings of the Medical Training Application Service (MTAS). However, she holds the belief that the review group will be able to patch up the mechanics of the process for the future. I humbly suggest that if we fail to insist that the review group re-examine the fundamental concepts underpinning Modernising Medical Careers itself, we will be letting down our junior colleagues for a second time.
