A new independent review will be established to take forward the Government's policy of modernising medical careers, Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt has announced.
Ms Hewitt said it would "clarify and strengthen" the principles of the beleaguered Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) programme and ensure that necessary changes were made in the future.
She apologised "unreservedly" to doctors for the recent chaos over medical training, but insisted the Government now had "the right way forward" and that applicants could be "confident that they will be treated fairly".
An agreement was reached between the British Medical Association (BMA), the Royal Colleges and the Government earlier this month on the best way out of the crisis over training.
The introduction of the Medical Training Application Service (MTAS), as part of the MMC reform, was heavily criticised by both juniors and senior medics as being unfair.
Now, junior doctors have been guaranteed an interview for their first-choice job.
According to BMA figures, 34,250 junior doctors have applied for 18,500 specialist posts around the UK.
Shadow health secretary Andrew Lansley said Ms Hewitt had been forced to "eat three helpings of humble pie over the issue".
