The author presents his own observations and reflections about the problems which appear with primary and secondary selection and election, in other words, with the selection, election and reelection of candidates, meaning personnel for scientific-research work at institutes and clinics of medical faculties in our country. He is in favor of the introduction of unique, agreed on, scientific and professional criteria, and with that, their strict obeying, without the influence of para-scientific factors, with the elimination of the attempts of such negative occurrences and attempted activities. In the process of secondary selection (reelection) the author recommends the strict obedience of principles of expertly proven scientific and professional qualities of the candidate, with giving priority and propulsive direction to the young, contemporarily educated and efficient workers in scientific research, and the principled elimination from institutes and clinics of such people which have not, up to now, actually proven themselves in the scientific and professional field. With this, broad spaces open for the constant selection of new young personnel and the removal of the insufficiently qualified "plethora" which blocks the further development and efficient work of scientific-research institutions at medical faculties.
The author has presented experimental results to validate the hypothesis that visual search techniques are related to the practice of radiography. A group of radiographers raised their performance on a film-viewing task from 56%-76% as a consequence of visual search practice and it is suggested that this is important to radiographers undertaking quality control, evaluation of imaging systems and pattern recognition. The final part of the paper considers the need to match the visual abilities of prospective students with the job requirements. Two simple tools are described.
