Self-reported measures of preparedness of graduates of a new remote and rural graduate-entry medical program (ScotGEM)

ScotGEM graduates demonstrate preparedness levels comparable to their peers nationally and from traditional-entry programs, underscoring the effectiveness of Scotland's first graduate-entry and rurally delivered medical program. Future evaluations with larger sample sizes will be essential to detect subtle differences and further refine ScotGEM's contributions to Scotland's medical workforce, particularly in underserved areas.
