Medical exams and assessments

MRCP(UK)
Membership of the Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom or MRCP (UK) is a requirement for anyone looking to pursue a medical specialty which can also be explored below. To gain your MRCP(UK) you need to sit a standardised, three-part exam that we develop in partnership with the UK’s other Royal Colleges. Once you're qualified, membership of a college will enable you to use the MRCP(UK) postnominals.
