Postgraduate medical training in the UK is changing, not through evolution but by revolution. There are three inter-related elements to these changes (box), with changes in the body supervising training (PMETB), the structure of training itself (MMC) and the method of application for training posts (MTAS). The recent marked failings in the last of these, both inherent in the selection tools and in the technology delivering it, have been widely discussed in the press.1 MTAS is now being reviewed and revised in an attempt to salvage credible and fair selection for training posts. However, the most dramatic long-term changes are in the introduction of run-through training and it is this that I will focus on here.
