Welcome to UKMLA Question Bank
The United Kingdom Medical Licensing Assessment (UKMLA or MLA) is a standardised assessment designed to ensure that all doctors licensed to practise in the UK meet a common threshold for safe and effective medical practice.
Introduced by the General Medical Council (GMC), the UKMLA is a crucial step for both UK medical students and international medical graduates (IMGs) seeking licensure. Understanding its structure, content, and importance is the first step towards successful preparation.
What is the UKMLA?
The UKMLA is a two-part assessment comprising:
- Applied Knowledge Test (AKT): This is a computer-based, multiple-choice examination designed to test your ability to apply medical knowledge to various clinical scenarios. It assesses your understanding of clinical medicine, diagnostics, therapeutics, and professional responsibilities. The AKT component is the primary focus of UKMLAQuestionBank.com, providing you with extensive practice in the format and style of questions you will encounter.
- Clinical and Professional Skills Assessment (CPSA): This part evaluates clinical skills, communication, and professionalism in simulated clinical environments, typically through Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). While our question bank primarily focuses on the AKT, the knowledge reinforced here is foundational for the CPSA as well. For UK medical school graduates, universities will deliver the CPSA. For IMGs, the GMC will run the CPSA.
Comprehensive UKMLA Syllabus Coverage
The UKMLA AKT is designed to assess a wide range of medical knowledge, clinical skills application, and professional behaviours. At UKMLAQuestionBank.com, our content is meticulously aligned with the GMC’s UKMLA content map, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all required domains.
