In an attempt to standarise medical student assessment across the UK, the GMC as set out a new curriculum that must be covered prior to graduation.
Direct from the horses’ mouths, so to speak, as follow:
“The purpose of the Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) is to ensure that doctors seeking
registration with a licence to practise medicine in the UK have met a common threshold
for safe practice that is appropriate to their point of entry to the medical register.”
“The MLA has two components: the applied knowledge test (AKT) and the clinical and
professional skills assessment (CPSA), through which candidates can demonstrate they are
ready for safe practice, able to manage uncertainty, and deliver patient-centred care.”
For the TeesNeuro team, this required some serious thought about content – fortunately for you, Dr Lou Wiblin has single-handedly launched herself at this task, recording hours and hours of lectures covering the key content you will need for the MLA.
Her reward for this insane amount of effort will either be a) on the next plane of existence OR b) when a load of you decide to become neurologists and come to work with us in Teesside. We favour the latter option as it might be a little quicker.
