Eight years’ experience of widening access to medical education

Background and study aims This paper reports on a 1‐year, full‐time widening access to medicine course that prepares mature adults for entry to selected UK medical schools. The course was developed in 1992–93 in co‐operation with the University of Leicester Medical School and is restricted to adults over 21 years of age. The main subjects of the curriculum are biology, chemistry and physics. These are supported by mathematics, statistics and medical geography.
