Abstract
Accurate, comprehensive follow up of individual medical students is not currently available. The best aggregate data source is probably the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). According to their Medical Return tables, 43 131 students began undergraduate medical studies in the United Kingdom (UK) in the decade 1985-94, and 38 376 doctors qualified from UK medical schools in the decade 1990-99, being 89% of the intake numbers 5 years previously. Continuous monitoring is required to enable medical school intake to be adjusted according to the demand for more doctors.Keywords
