Student professionalism competition 2021

Every year we run a student professionalism competition with the Medical Schools Council based on our joint guidance, Achieving good medical practice.

In 2021, we asked students at UK medical schools to create an online learning resource focussed on how to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams. Thank you to all the medical students who entered. The winning entry, as well as the runners-up and the shortlist, are available below.

For updates on the competition and our work to support medical students, please sign up to GMC news for students or follow us on Instagram (@gmcuk).
