Preparing graduates for the role of the junior doctor is the aim of all medical schools. There has been limited published description of junior doctor performance in the workplace within Australia. ⋯ The findings in this study support the claim that the tools and processes being used to monitor and assess junior doctor performance could be better. The Australian medical board appears to be looking for an assessment process that will both discriminate the poorly performing doctor and provide educational guidance for the training organization. These two intents of the assessment may be in opposition to each other.
