Parallels between this military approach, in which the challenge of leading more experienced operatives through complex manoeuvres is imposed on the successful trainee immediately after qualification, with that applied to pre registration house officers in 1979 (the year of your editor's graduation) seem superficially to be numerous, excepting the element of physical danger. Thus, a one in two rota leading to progressive exhaustion, insertion into the 'frontline' with minimal experience immediately post medical school, and the need to convey authority to nursing and allied health professionals with immensely more experience and ability than oneself when fearful of the consequences of 'getting it wrong' are strangely familiar concepts. So if this is how leadership is exerted, how can we know if we are ever going to be up to the task? Maybe the armed forces again show the way. The systems employed by Admiralty Interview or Army Officer Selection Boards have been developed over decades and are designed to
