Are UK Medical Schools subject to quality assurance?
The GMC runs a Quality Assurance of Basic Medical Education (QABME) programme to ensure the standards and outcomes in undergraduate education are being delivered appropriately. The process involves the analysis of all aspects of education provided by medical schools including curriculum content, structure and delivery, assessment, facilities and resources, and student support. Specialist QABME teams of trained visitors verify information received through a series of focused visits to the medical schools and surrounding sites where training is delivered. View further details on the QABME programme. View further details on the Quality Assurance of the Foundation Programme (QAFP).
