The University

There are two medical schools in Hong Kong, that of the University of Hong Kong and that of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The former has a history of more than 100 years whereas the latter admitted its first batch of students only in 1981. Both use English as the teaching medium and both are recognised by the GMC. I received my undergraduate medical education in the former but have been teaching in the latter for seven years.

ABSTRACT Background  Although there is some consensus about the competencies needed to enter residency, the actual skills of graduating medical students may not meet expectations. In addition, little is known about the association between undergraduate medical education and clinical performance at entry into and during residency. Objective  We explored the association between medical school of origin and clinical performance using a multi-station objective structured clinical examination for incoming residents at the University of Michigan Health System. Methods  Prior to assuming clinical duties, all first-year residents at the University of Michigan Health System participate in the Postgraduate Orientation Assessment (POA). This assesses competencies needed during the first months of residency. Performance data for 1795 residents were collected between 2002 and 2012. We estimated POA variance by medical school using linear mixed models. Results  Medical school predicted the following amounts of variance in performance—data gathering scores: 1.67% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36–2.93); assessment scores: 4.93% (95% CI 1.84–6.00); teamwork scores: 0.80% (95% CI 0.00–1.82); communication scores: 2.37% (95% CI 0.66–3.83); and overall POA scores: 4.19% (95% CI 1.59–5.35). Conclusions  The results show that residents' medical school of origin is weakly associated with clinical competency, highlighting a potential source of variability in undergraduate medical education. The practical significance of these findings needs further evaluation.

Clinical Cases

This article brings the social science concept of ‘deservingness’ to bear on clinical cases of transnational migrant patients. Based on the authors’ medical social science research, health delivery practice and clinical work from multiple locations in Africa. Europe and the Americas, the article describes three clinical cases in which assumptions of deservingness have significant implications for the morbidity and mortality of migrant patients. The concept of deservingness allows us to maintain a critical awareness of the often unspoken presumptions of which categories of patients are more or less deserving of access to and quality of care, regardless of their formal legal eligibility. Many transnational migrants with ambiguous legal status who rely on public healthcare experience exclusion from care or poor treatment based on notions of deservingness held by health clinic staff, clinicians and health system planners. The article proposes several implications for clinicians, health professional education, policymaking and advocacy. A critical lens on deservingness can help global health professionals, systems and policymakers confront and change entrenched patterns of unequal access to and differential quality of care for migrant patients. In this way, health professionals can work more effectively for global health equity.
