UK Medical Schools Blog

In November 2008 we began asking members to tell us what their occupations were to help us provide the most relevant information on UKMS. Then in march we had enough data to see who was using the site and wrote an entry about it here. Now a year on we have gone back through the same process to see how things have changed.

The results show that in just one year we have gone from 1087 members to nearly 3200. The increase in members has been particularly strong among qualified doctors, with over three times as many as a year ago. We have also seen a considerable increase in graduate entry applicants, possibly because of the high number of medical school applicants last year and the current graduate employment market.

Undergraduate medical school applicants remain by far our most numerous group followed by existing medical students and graduates.

If your status has changed since joining UKMS, please remember to keep us up to date. This helps us tailor the information and services on the site to best suit our audience. You can update your status this by following this link or visiting your profile.
