MRCOG PART 3 REGULATIONS



In our last blog we mentioned about the format of assessment of part 3 examination. Today, in this post we will discuss about the various regulations followed by the candidates appearing for part 3 examination.

Candidates who are interested in getting trained for the MRCOG examination should inform the college in writing. The candidates can obtain all the information related to the examination from the consultants they are working with from Deanery College adviser in their region, college tutors, the Careers Adviser at the college or from the representative committees overseas. The candidate can obtain the contact details from the exam department. They should also join the trainees register.

Candidates for Membership are required:

  • To comply with the Regulations relating to medical registration.

  • To pass the Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 exams.
  • To fulfill the requirements of the Regulations in relation to declaration of conduct, admission by the President in Council and payment of the prescribed fees.


THE PART 3 MRCOG EXAM

GENERAL RULES TO BE OBSERVED BY ALL CANDIDATES FOR THE PART 1, PART 2 AND PART 3 MRCOG EXAMS
  • All the candidates appearing for the examination agrees to all the terms of the membership exam regulations and to the transfer of all copyright subsisting in exam material produced by the candidate to the college.

  • Certificates not in english must be accompanied by an attested english translation. Candidates may submit medical registration certificates in lieu of degree certificates only if the degree and university are clearly stated.
  • Cheques or banker’s drafts in pounds sterling should be made payable to the RCOG. Do not send cash. 
  • The College incurs unnecessary bank charges due to cheques or drafts being returned by the bank on which they are drawn. In order to minimize this cost the college will add a surcharge of £5.00 to the cost of the exam where a payment is returned unpaid.
  • Late attendance at any stage of an exam may result in failure of the entire exam.
