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:
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Young people of high school age can actually feel themselves changing. Progress is almost tangible. It’s exciting. It stimulates more progress. Nevertheless, growth is not constant and smooth. Erik Erikson quotes an aphorism to describe the formless forming of it. “I ain’t what I ought to be. I ain’t what I’m going to be, but I’m not what I was.””
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
