Abstract

Six interviewing panels which had assessed candidates for places at a medical school in 1984 were reconvened in 1987 to assess videotapes of the interviews conducted by themselves and by other panels. Overall recommendations made by panels showed excellent reliability within panels and high reliability between panels.
