Medical school withdrawal rate

The request was successful.

Dear University of East Anglia,

What is the number of students who withdraw from the medical school every year from year 1-year 5? How many students withdraw voluntarily and how many withdraw due to academic failure? Please could this data be presented from 2010-2021 or as far back as possible.

Secondly, how many medical students are required to resit OSCE examinations and written examinations every year from year 1-year 5 from 2010-2021 or as far back as possible. How many of these students pass the resits?

Yours faithfully,

John Smith

Dear John Smith,

 

Further to our acknowledgement below we have interpreted your request as

If this is incorrect then please specify which course you are referring
to. 

We are still working on a response which is due out on Monday.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Rebekah
