Just read a tweet from a distressed iFY describing how hard shes finding her job. Medical schools and curriculum designers yes you educationalists and portfolio clinicians get with the programme! You have to do better! A vocational course that doesnt prepare students for work?

Final year students need to be given supported responsibility for patient care, assessments based around work, as well as academic knowledge and skills, credits for doing the job dare I suggest a salary? Most of all the support and mentorship they need to be successful and happy

Its 31 years since I qualified and it’s the same old, same old dressed up as “new curricula” ... come on people - OSCEs are nearly 50 years old (circa 1975) .... we have to be better than this!
