Progress
In a webpage advertising a UMAP workshop to members of staff at University of Leeds it is quoted that
"18 high stakes examinations took place across partner medical schools in 2005/06 using items from UMAP."
The UMAP bank is reported to have amassed over 4000 written assessment items since 2003.
UMAP makes regular announcements about forthcoming item writing workshops which are open to members of staff with an affiliation to UK medical education and take place across the 15 partner school sites.
UMAP is referred to in a report published by the GMC Education Committee exploring strategic options to improve assessment provision in UK undergraduate medical education.

Famous quotes containing the word progress:
“War contains so much folly, as well as wickedness, that much is to be hoped from the progress of reason.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
“Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe such progress is relished because it feels nice.”
—Paul West (b. 1930)
