MRCGP - Membership of the Royal College of General
Practitioners
Dual Purpose
Since its inception in August 2007 the MRCGP serves two
purposes: firstly it is the assessment during training (which along
with approval from PMETB) is a license to practice
independently as a general pracitioner (other criteria for
practicing can be sought from the GMC); and secondly it is one of three
routes to Membership of the College.
Upon completion of a GP training programme and once in receipt
of a certificate from PMETB GPSTRs are eligible for full
Membership of the College. Many who register as Associates in
Training (AiTs) are 'upgraded' automatically to full Member with no
further fees applicable for the remainder of the current
subscription year. For eligibility criteria please see
After
Applying for CCT.
