Should the UK move to graduate entry only medicine?

So today I was reading an article on the Student BMJ which I thought was really interesting. It discusses the advantages of graduate entry Medicine and how successful the scheme has been since it started off 10 years ago.

Graduate entry medicine is currently being taught at 16 medical schools, with Warwick and Swansea offering only graduate entry medicine. Research was conducted to find a correlation between having previously done a Bsc and attainment in a range of examinations. Nottingham state that  “the previous degree [subject] could give a small advantage in certain subjects but this quickly diminished as the course progressed.”

On the other hand, Birmingham University Medical School published a report stating that educational attainment was higher in graduates, who performed better in a range of examinations. Students from GEP were more likely to graduate with honours, the highest level of award.

In addition there seems to be a relationship between graduate doctors and them specialising in general practice medicine. This could be for a number of reasons. One being that GP's have more flexibility abut their job in terms of working hours. In addition General Practice is seen as being more compatible with family commitments.

The idea of shifting Medicine to strictly graduate entry has been considered as it shows dedication to the subject but it has been previously overshadowed by the idea of the extra cost to student and taxpayers outweighing the benefits of a previous degree.

In conclusion, I think it is fantastic that graduate entry programmes are available as it widens access to Medicine and allows people to have a second chance of getting into Medical school. Although, ultimately my biggest aim in life is to get into Medicine this year as I can't see myself in any other profession.
