Standards and outcomes

We set the standards that medical training organisations are expected to meet in the delivery of their training. We also set the outcomes that medical students and doctors in training should achieve by the end of their training. These five publications set out these requirements.

Our medical education guidance

We set the standards and outcomes for medical education and training in the UK. We regulate all stages of doctors' training and professional development. From undergraduate education at medical schools to postgraduate education. These five publications set out these requirements.

Our collection of position statements look at specific areas where we have been asked to provide further clarity or information.
Medicine never stops improving, meaning education and training must keep pace. Our projects cover anything which may impact on now or in the future.
