A retrospective cohort study of Differential Attainment, COVID and Chaos: taking the difference out of a terrible trinity

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate Core Surgical Training (CST) Differential Attainment (DA) related to COVID-19 and gender in three ethnic cohorts: White UK (WUKG), Black \& Minority Ethnic UK (BMEUKG), and International Medical Graduates (IMG). The hypothesis was that COVID-19 adversely influenced CST outcome.

Methods: Anonymised 234 CST and 37 IST records (152 WUKG, 81 BMEUKG, 38 IMG) in a UK Statutory Education Body (SEB) were examined. Primary effect measures were: Annual Review of Competency Progression Outcome (ARCPO), MRCS pass, and National Training Number (NTN) appointment.
