A multivariate analysis to identify the relationship between sociodemographic differences and examination performance in UK postgraduate medical examinations
This was the largest study to date investigating independent predictors of outcomes at each UK postgraduate medical examination. Significant differences in pass rates were seen according to sociodemographic differences in each examination. These data can be used by Medical Royal Colleges, the GMC and training institutions to guide more granular research and future interventions.
