A study to understand the factors impacting pass rates for the specialty certification examination in geriatric medicine to improve outcomes and reduce variation
The geriatric medicine SCE pass rates have declined over last few years. The higher proportion of IMG and lower IMG pass rate had a significant impact on overall pass rate. The TPD survey feedback led to an improved RCP SCE geriatric medicine website and additional support for IMG.
