The IMC Act 1956 developed the MCI to manage medical education, licensing, registration and ethics; and thereby the healthcare delivery system. It was thwarted culminating in the then president’s arrest for accepting kickbacks for favorable medical college evaluation reports. Strangely enough, just one case against him stays to be heard; the rest were dropped “for absence of evidence”. MCI coworkers and IMA national leaders campaigned for his installation as President of the World Medical Association by certifying that he had actually been cleared of all cases. This reeked of chicanery and subterfuge because at that time, three cases were still pending. A backlash was unavoidable.

The General Medical Council (GMC) has today released new research and data on the progression of medical professionals from different ethnic cultures and backgrounds through exams and recruitment. It reveals that white UK medical graduates remain most likely to pass specialized tests than their black and minority ethnic (BME) equivalents, while doctors whose primary qualification was gotten outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA) are even less most likely to do well in examinations or recruitment.
