Abstract

INTRODUCTION: International medical graduates (IMGs) have a higher rate of examination failure and are more likely to be referred to the regulator for professional performance issues than their UK-trained counterparts. Support for IMGs to reduce differential attainment takes many forms. A pilot study to assess the feasibility and utility of early intervention to increase the support available for IMGs entering general practice (GP) training was undertaken. METHOD: IMGs entering GP training in one UK region were offered one-to-one, near-peer linguistic coaching during their first two weeks of training. A session focusing on cultural acclimatisation, local accent and dialect using mock patient consultations was delivered and evaluated. RESULTS: The coaching was valued by the trainees and the intervention allowed very early identification of a trainee who needed further support. It was possible to identify such trainees using a non-medical volunteer student coach. DISCUSSION: Use of a non-medical, near-peer coach for one-to-one linguistic support has not previously been described for IMGs. This pilot study confirms the acceptability and utility of this approach. Early identification of trainees requiring enhanced support allows targeted interventions in a time-pressured speciality training programme. Further study with a larger-scale and longer-term coaching programme, assessing trainee feedback and uptake of early supportive intervention is recommended.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
