Student fitness to practise competition
For the last two years, we have run a student competition with the Medical Schools Council to explore why professionalism is important to medical students.
On both years, we asked students to design a teaching session based on our guidance Achieving good medical practice. In 2016, students could select any aspect of the guidance. In 2017, we asked for sessions focused on honesty and integrity, and why these qualities are important for future doctors.
We received 97 entries between the two years from students across the UK. The students whose entries were shortlisted have kindly agreed to share their sessions as teaching resources.
