Department of Health receives Final Report of ISFP Project Group  

The Final Report of the Improving Selection to the Foundation Programme (ISFP) Project Group has now been submitted to the four UK health departments. The Report’s recommendations are currently going through the Department of Health approvals process, and we will confirm once their decision has been formalised.  

The report recommends the introduction of:   

• From FP 2013, an invigilated Situational Judgement Test (SJT) to assess aptitude for the Foundation Programme (to replace ‘white space questions’)
• From FP 2013, an Educational Performance Measure (EPM) to reflect educational performance at medical school up to the point of application to the Foundation Programme (to replace quartiles)
• A full-scale Parallel Recruitment Exercise (PRE) for FP 2012
