MRCGP

The MRCGP commenced on 1st August 2007 effectively combining the separate Summative Assessment (SA) and traditional MRCGP examinations. This is the licensing system for all UK trained doctors wishing to obtain a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in General Practice and gain entry to the GMC’s GP register.

As it is a national assessment process, the most up to date information is to be found through the RCGP site. Some information is available on the Deanery site. The Dorset site offers a few local documents and support articles, above.

The whole of the nMRCGP is mapped to competency areas derived from the RCGP GP Curriculum.
Since no one method of assessment can be completely satisfactory, the MRCGP is an integrated triangulation of assessments. These will each assess separate areas although there will be some degree of natural overlap. Several new elements have been introduced compared to the old MRCGP and SA exams.
The Applied Knowledge Test (AKT)
The Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA)
The Work Place Based Assessment (WPBA)
Electronic Portfolio (ePortfolio)
