Abstract
The new curriculum framework for doctors in postgraduate years 1 and 2 is a step towards seamless medical education. The framework will need additional components to make "the curriculum" deliverable. Assessment is an essential element of most curricula, and assessment systems should be carefully planned. Diligent observation and rating in the workplace may provide a suitable approach. In the future, Australia must also thoroughly engage with the debate on continuing validation of competence.
