Membership by Assessment of Performance (iMAP)
The path to full Membership for established
GPs.
|
 |
iMAP comprises two distinct assessment stages, the production of
a satisfactory portfolio followed by an oral assessment, and grants
full RCGP membership which is exactly equivalent to that gained by
the exam route.
If you have any queries please contact the iMAP Team by email:
imap@rcgp.org.uk or by phone: 020
3188 7661.
The portfolio is divided into the fifteen criteria listed
below, all of which are relevant to everyday general practice and
could be used as evidence for appraisal and Revalidation.
You may now submit the portfolio criteria either individually or
all fifteen together as one document. Click here for a
summary of the two different
processes. You could submit some of the criteria for
assessing even if you do not wish to complete all fifteen and
gain MRCGP.
