## Description

The GMC is tendering for a research project to help us identify facilitators of, and barriers to, progression in postgraduate medical education that differentially impact on trainees depending on where they obtained their Primary Medical Qualification \(PMQ\) and/or their ethnicity\. Through qualitative methods, the research will explore whether, in the view of trainees or trainers, the experience of undertaking post-graduate medical training differs depending on where a trainee obtained their Primary Medical Qualification \(PMQ\) and/or their ethnicity\.
