AB131. SOH26AB_0259. The use of situational judgement testing in the selection of postgraduate trainees: a systematic review

Over the past 5 years in Ireland, the number of applicants to the postgraduate core surgical training (CST) scheme has risen substantially, while places remain limited. Given this, it has become unfeasible to interview all surgical applicants. As the evidence for situational judgement testing (SJT) across specialties grows, the evidence to support its inclusion in surgical selection remains somewhat limited. This systematic review will help to inform our decision-making moving forward as to the implementation of SJTs in the CST selection process.
