Four-year fast-track courses for graduates started in the UK in 2000, and are now offered at 14 UK medical schools. Graduate entry medicine (GEM) started five years earlier in Australia, and of course in the USA it has been the norm for students to begin studying medicine after university graduation. This paper reviews the aspirations for GEM and looks at the early evidence on delivery against those aspirations. Particular reference is made to the experience at Warwick Medical School which was one of the two pioneers of GEM in the UK, has the largest GEM intake and continues to admit only graduates.
面向毕业生的四年制快速课程于2000年在英国启动,目前英国有14所医学院校提供此类课程。研究生入学医学(GEM)在澳大利亚启动的时间要早五年,当然在美国,学生大学毕业后开始学习医学已是常态。本文回顾了研究生入学医学的愿景,并审视了针对这些愿景在实施初期的证据。特别提及了华威医学院的经验,该校是英国研究生入学医学的两个先驱之一,拥有最大规模的研究生入学医学招生人数,并且仍然只招收毕业生。
