Modernising medical careers and the birth of postgraduate specialty schools of medicine.

摘要

Across the UK new bodies, to be called the postgraduate specialty schools, are being established to manage postgraduate specialty education. These structures, which reflect the development of mature postgraduate programmes, fuse the functions of the Royal Colleges and the postgraduate deaneries to the potential huge benefit of specialist education. All physicians, at training and career level, will be affected by the new structure which could realise the brightest hopes for Modernising Medical Careers (MMC).
