Is graduate medicine going to disappear in the next few years?

From what I've heard, it won't disappear, it will just be extended to five years instead of four to keep within EU law. It all stems from the GMC wanting to grant full registration to doctors straight out of medical school as opposed to the end of F1. From what I've read, it's going to take a very long time to implement for the GMC.

How long, is how long? if you don't mind me asking.

It won't be during the 2015 cycle and perhaps not in the 2016. I would anticipate it from 2017 onwards, seems most all medical schools are review their courses in the next couple of years.
Though no one really knows and at best this is a gut feeling.

Well that's annoying. I'm assuming the funding will remain the same though?

Graduate entry medicine funding for 2015 is the only year agreed upon thus far.

I didn't know there had been a change?

Graduate entry medicine funding or the undergrad route for graduates? Or indeed funding for medicine as a first degree?
For GEM funding has been an issue since the fee increase. With funding initially only secured until 2014 entry, this has been extended but only for those entering 2015.
2016 is anyone's guess.
