Best UK medical school?
Scroll to see replies
looks freakin sweet.
Well, even though the universities might have different rankings, the school of Medicine is MOST universities are basically of the same quality.
I would go with the stupid poll option

The London is currently being rebuilt, so in a few years it'll be like UCH, all shiny and glass. But at the moment, its all a bit manic and difficult to work in. I'm just biased because I've been in a District General for a month now and I get to do everything on my own and the patients don't mind my clarking them.

Oxford students as a group go on to achieve the highest MRCP first-time pass rate. According to our resident medical educationalist. 
Thats because you have the least foreign students.

Tommies is blatently the best hospital ever.
You think?
Tommies is by and large a whole, barr one or two plush areas.

So foreign students perform less well? Language barrier or what? (In preclinical they tended to be better than the homegrowns.)
If you are male, non-white, and born outside of the UK your odds of passing MRCP more than halve compared to a white female.

There is some degree of truth there.
However, I think the main point is that OSCEs 'measure' clinical skills, analytical skills and soft skills rather than textbook memorising skills.

Yeah, although I must admit I don't find them all that objective. I am not saying that out of bitterness, as I have done pretty well in OSCEs on occasion, but I find it depends a lot on the examiner.

what's so special about the mrcp that you apparently think foreign people and females have a disadvantage?
i'm being genuine by the way, i just want to know. the only thing i know about mrcp is that it's an examination so i could be missing something here.

well one component of it is written, and thats though enough.
But yes, PACES (the OSCE type practical part) like renal says is very much about showmanship, and heavily involves communication.
Being as alot of non-white doctors struggle with the finer points of communication, that probably explains the fact that your odds of passing are so much lower.
I'm talking fact by the way, not guessing.
