 The study aims to better characterize the awarding gap, AG, between black, Asian and other minority ethnic, BAME, and white students in UK undergraduate medical education by examining how it affects eight minority ethnicity subgroups and whether the AG varies by medical school attended. The retrospective cohort study used data extracted from the UK medical education database on students enrolled at 33 UK medical schools in the academic years starting 2012, 2013, and 2014. The primary outcome measure was UKFPZ scores on exit from medical school. Results showed significant differences in UKFPZ scores between ethnicity subgroups, with Pakistani students scoring lowest and mixed ethnicity students performing best. The AG varied considerably across medical schools, with the largest gap showing a coefficient for BAME of 0.83 SD compared with white students. The study concludes that BAME students are significantly disadvantaged by the current UK medical education system, and urgent and effective action must be taken to address the AG and achieve an equal learning environment for our future doctors.
