The Membership examination is intended for those who wish to specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology, and is a two-part examination:
Part 1 MRCOG is a written examination in the basic and clinical sciences relevant to obstetrics and gynaecology. It can be taken at any time after medical graduation, although it is a requirement for specialty trainees who are progressing from ST2 to ST3.
Part 2 MRCOG can be sat once the Part 1 examination has been successfully completed. It is a requirement for specialty trainees in order to progress from ST5 to ST6, and it is necessary for prospective candidates to have their training assessed prior to entry into the examination.
The DRCOG examination is aimed at doctors, and especially GPs, who wish to certificate their knowledge and interest in Women's Health.
The Diploma in Advanced Obstetric Ultrasound was discontinued at the end of 2009. Ultrasound is now part of the basic and intermediate training programmes and has moved to a competence-based methodology. For more information please go the curriculum section of the website.
