Medical School Council - addressing the award gap
Medical schools welcome a study published today that increases our understanding of the award gap. The study, Is the awarding gap at UK medical schools influenced by ethnicity and medical school attended? A retrospective cohort study, by Brown et al published in the BMJ Open, identifies a correlation between ethnicity and performance at medical school. This study is a positive step in helping medical schools identify and tackle the wider issues that cause differential attainment.
