Utilizing the word frequency and coding analysis functions of Nvivo14 software, the study identifies the developmental stages and core themes of British medical education in each stage.Results:Since 1858, UK medical education has undergone three stages. The characteristics of these three stages are examination-oriented, curriculum integration-oriented, and outcome-oriented reforms. Each stage has brought corresponding changes in educational objectives, content, methods, and evaluation.Conclusions:Amid global transformations in the model of medical education, non-profit organizations like the General Medical Council (GMC) have become increasingly influential in shaping the field.
