- 9. Conclusions: When should Finals be sat at Kings? Finals should be sat closer to January in the final year But why? 1. Opportunity for students to re-sit in year enabling students to continue to foundation posts. 2. Discrete preparation for practice module towards the end of final year. @therajivsethi @carneyprof #ASMEASM2015
- 10. How has this work impacted MBBS Curriculum 2020? Finals will be sat in December/ January of final year A discrete preparation for practice module towards the end of final year The Elective will take place FebApril of final year with re-sit opportunity after this period.
- 11. How does this affect UK Medical Education? There is no correlation between timing of finals and self-reported preparation for practice. UK Medical Licensing Exam Further work required to assess preparation for practice curricula at medical schools @therajivsethi @carneyprof #ASMEASM2015

Editor's Notes
- #3: Kings College London are currently developing a new medical curriculum to be launched in the academic year 2016 2017. What are the drivers for this change? Students are currently learning within a curriculum which is over 17 years old, created in 1998. What has changed over this time? Health care has evolved, there are changing patient needs with an increase in the number of patients with long term conditions with more complex needs. From a student point of view, student satisfaction has remained relatively stagnant over recent years. Above all, Kings College London graduates should be safe, effective and capable practitioners. Why change the make up of final year in particular? Over recent years, 4 8 percent of final year medical students having to repeat final year due to no in year resit opportunity. Also on the horizon are the UK medical licensing examination and change in point of registration. All medical schools will have to adapt to any future changes. So we might as well start now.
- #6: Evidence of preparedness for specific tasks, skills and knowledge was contradictory: trainees are well prepared for some practical procedures but not others, reasonably well prepared for history taking and full physical examinations, but mostly unprepared for adopting an holistic understanding of the patient, involving patients in their care, safe and legal prescribing, diagnosing and managing complex clinical conditions and providing immediate care in medical emergencies. Unprepared time management Largest transition was from medical student to F1 but other notable transitions included: a. Moving to new wards; b. Changing rotation; c. On-call. Mention new Tomorrows doctors coming out Mention Morrow et al looking at variation in school cohort
- #12: Too early to say whether for Inevitably the timing of finals will have to take account UKMLE.
