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.
