UK medical schools have largely implemented recommendations for undergraduate medical education. Informal visits monitored progress, identifying good practices but noting slower development in health promotion and assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • The General Medical Council (GMC) published key recommendations for undergraduate medical education in 1993.
  • These recommendations, outlined in "Tomorrow's Doctors," aimed to reform medical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the implementation status of the GMC's 1993 undergraduate medical education recommendations.
  • To assess the effectiveness of informal visitations as a monitoring tool.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-year period of informal visitations to 25 UK medical schools, starting in early 1995.
  • Teams of 3-5 members conducted the visits.

Main Results:

  • Most medical schools have substantially implemented 11 out of 13 principal GMC recommendations.

  • Slower progress was observed in the implementation of health promotion strategies and the development of suitable assessment schemes.
  • Most schools established medical education units, indicating positive changes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Informal visitations proved effective in monitoring the implementation of GMC recommendations.
    • The visitation process fostered dialogue and identified best practices in UK medical schools.
    • Continued focus is needed on health promotion and assessment within undergraduate medical curricula.
