Dear ENMCA colleagues
Please find attached a short survey from the General Medical Council (GMC) asking whether competent authorities restrict access to doctor training roles - for example to doctors of a certain nationality or place of qualification.
Please could you send responses to [email protected] by 31 January.
The GMC would be happy to share the results of the survey with ENMCA.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Request for information on restrictions on who can take up training roles in healthcare systems
Purpose
We would appreciate your help in finding out about any restrictions on who can access doctor training roles in the healthcare jurisdiction for which you have regulatory responsibilities.
Specifically, if such restrictions exist, how do they relate to where doctors graduated and to doctors’ nationality.
UK context
In the UK, after an individual undertakes an initial medical degree in the UK and moves into employment, they enter the foundation programme. The foundation programme is two years of core post-graduate training that constitute a transition from university.
Doctors are required to complete at least a year of the foundation programme before they receive full registration with the GMC. Following completion of the foundation programme, doctors may move into enter ‘specialty training’ – undertaking further postgraduate training in order to become a specialist (e.g. a surgeon) or a General Practitioner.
In the UK, each UK healthcare system funds and allocates a number of foundation programme posts to fit the size of the UK graduate cohort. Non-UK graduates are only considered for foundation programme posts where UK graduates have not filled all of the foundation programme posts.
