Since 1979 general practitioner trainees in the North West Region of England have been assessed on knowledge and ability by several tests, including the multiple choice test. Trainers in the region require a score in the MCQ of 45% before taking a trainee into the practice. More British graduates have achieved this score than overseas graduates. The difference was statistically significant. Only applicants who show adequate factual recall should be appointed as trainees.
自1979年以来,英格兰西北地区的全科医生培训生需通过包括多项选择题测试在内的多项考试来评估知识和能力。该地区的培训师要求培训生在多项选择题测试中的得分达到45%才能进入实习阶段。英国毕业生达到这一分数的人数多于海外毕业生。这种差异具有统计学意义。只有表现出足够事实性记忆能力的申请者才能被任命为培训生。
