This is no longer an option BUT and it is a big BUT this only applies to people sitting equivalent exams after the start of this year. According to the RCOG ...

Quote: The reasons for discontinuing exemption from 1 st January 2007 are educational. The College has recently undertaken a review of its Part 1 MRCOG examination, which will result in changes in both the format and content of the examination. The Part 1 and Part 2 MRCOG will form a single integrated blueprint derived from the new Curriculum for Core Training. It is therefore becoming increasingly difficult for overseas examinations to retain their comparability with an examination that is undergoing fundamental and rapid change. In order to assist candidates following the phasing out of exemptions, the College will endeavour to: 1. provide improved access to the Part 1 MRCOG examination in an increasing number of countries, in liaison with the British Council and other reliable bodies, as long as there are sufficient candidates provide assistance in the organisation and staffing of local preparatory courses for the Part 1 MRCOG examination 2. develop distance-learning programmes for Part 1 MRCOG and make them available to candidates Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         TEALE FENNING Forum Index -> Exam Information All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Announcements----------------Forum AnnouncementsExam InformationCourse Announcements Examinations----------------MRCOG Part 1: EMCQsMRCOG Part 2: MCQ & Past Paper questionsMRCOG Part 2: EMQs - Extended Matching QuestionsMRCOG Part 2: Short Answer EssaysMRCOG Part 2: Objective Structured Clinical Examination - the OSCEDRCOG: the Diploma ExaminationMFFP: Membership of the Faculty of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care of the RCOGPLAB: The Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board test General Discussion----------------Open ForumRCOG News & UpdatesThe Study Buddy SchemeKey Facts in O&GGuidelines & ProtocolsRecommended ReadingUseful WebsitesThe Market PlaceHow things work in the UKHow do you say that? Teale Fenning Courses----------------Our UK CoursesOur Overseas CoursesOur Correspondence CourseCourse AdministrationCourse FeedbackAccommodationOther Courses Training & Career Development----------------Basic Speciality Training in O&GSubspeciality Training & Special Skills ModulesAcademic TrainingResearch & AuditThe Curriculum Vitae or CVInterview SkillsMedical EducationPublication & Presentation SkillsTraining Courses, Conferences, & MeetingsThe Job MarketClinical Attachments  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
