The purpose of the MRCGP
Examination
The MRCGP Examination aims to test the wide-ranging knowledge,
competencies, clinical and communication skills, and professional
attributes considered appropriate by the College for a doctor
intending to undertake unsupervised practice in the contemporary
British National Health Service, while reflecting the emerging
agendas in postgraduate medical education, training and
certification.
The examination is designed and administered in accordance
with internationally accepted best practice, as are its marking,
standard-setting and quality control procedures. The Panel of
Examiners also affirm their commitment to the principles of
fairness and equal opportunity, particularly in the areas of
ethnicity and gender.
