40% of New Doctors Feel Unprepared For Job

A study in the May 9, 2003 British Medical Journal says that 40% of recent medical school graduates felt that their education had inadequately prepared them for their jobs as doctors.

The study, done at the University of Oxford, surveyed 3446 doctors who graduated from UK medical schools in 1999 and 2000. Although the results varied from school to school, 42% of the students disagreed with the statement: “My experience at medical school prepared me well for the jobs I have undertaken so far.”

Only 36% of the doctors agreed that they were prepared to practice.
