In this third instalment of our 12-part Decolonising Global Health series, Maju Brunette joins us again as she reflects on the deep-rooted links between poverty, power and the spread of infectious diseases, focusing on tuberculosis (TB) and its disproportionate impact on marginalised communities in the Global South. Writing from Lima on World TB Day, she invites readers to consider how global health can move beyond biomedical responses to address the structural inequalities that allow diseases like TB to persist.
Exploring the 'award gap' between international medical graduates and UK medical graduates in general practice training
International medical graduates (IMGs) currently account for 41% of the UK medical workforce. IMGs in training posts face challenges in progression including a significant ‘award gap’ (previously differential attainment) in postgraduate training compared to UK medical graduates. General practice (GP) is disproportionately impacted by these issues in progression as over 50% of GP trainees are IMGs. Previous studies have focused on educational interventions to reduce the award gap but have failed to improve training outcomes.This DPhil project aims to increase understanding of the mechanisms underlying the award gap and the potential impacts for patients and the public.
