What is the MLA?
Dr. Phil Xiu, editor of Elsevier’s Crash Course book series and the Editor-in-Chief of ClinicalKey Student Assessment, explains what the MLA is and what you need to know!
“Your best preparation is to engage fully in your course. The UKMLA isn’t here to trip you up, it’s to ensure all new doctors are meeting the high standards that the public can have confidence in. To prep effectively, focus on the core clinical knowledge over obscure facts.”
Dr. Phil Xiu
