The Medicine MBChB (with Gateway Year) is designed to widen access to medicine study. On successful completion students will automatically progress to the Medicine MBChB. The programme aims to develop students into practising medical doctors. Upon graduation, students will be eligible to register provisionally with the General Medical Council (GMC) and begin work as a doctor within the UK Foundation Programme (subject to successful application to the UK Foundation Programme Office) . Alongside traditional medical training, the programme will also encourage students to develop wider skills in research, leadership, and an understanding of public health in a rural and coastal context.<br/><br/>This programme is subject to approval by the UK General Medical Council. The University of Nottingham is the contingency School as part of this process. Medicine at Lincoln Medical School is undergoing accreditation by the General Medical Council (GMC). The GMC will make a final decision relating to the University of Lincoln being added to the list of approved providers in the final year of the course. Should the approval not be received, students will graduate with a University of Nottingham BMBS degree, which entitles graduates to provisionally register with the GMC and apply to the UK Foundation Programme.
