Mehdizah and colleagues recently described the prevalence of General Medical Council regulatory performance assessments by doctors' country of primary medical qualification. This article has caused anger within the UK-international medical community because it identifies graduates of certain countries with significantly raised prevalence.The present article comments on evidence from published Royal College of General Practitioners' data that support these conclusions. However, in an increasingly international age of medical education, the ambiguity of attributions of qualifying from a certain country needs addressing. Some medical students of British nationality, for example, who fail to obtain a place at a UK medical school, train in medical schools abroad, and thus may be identified as international medical graduates.Please see related article: https://bmcmededuc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12909-017-0903-6 .
迈赫迪扎及其同事最近按医生的初始医学资格所在国描述了英国医学总会监管绩效评估的普遍性。这篇文章在英国国际医学界引发了愤怒,因为它指出某些国家的毕业生普遍性显著提高。本文对英国皇家全科医师学院公布的数据中支持这些结论的证据进行了评论。然而,在医学教育日益国际化的时代,从某个国家取得资格的归属模糊性需要得到解决。例如,一些英国国籍的医学生未能在英国医学院获得一席之地,于是在国外医学院接受培训,因此可能被认定为国际医学毕业生。请参阅相关文章:https://bmcmededuc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12909-017-0903-6 。
