What to expect
Led by the RCOG Portfolio Pathway team, these sessions give advice and support for doctors preparing an O&G Portfolio Pathway application. They focus on best practice in preparing and presenting your evidence and address common questions about the application process.
Each session focuses on a different theme, such as:
- Standards of assessment (‘Knowledge, Skill and Experience’) and how best to approach them
- The role of learning descriptors and their importance
- Best practice for OSATS, NOTSS and reflective practice
- The use of artificial intelligence (AI)
- Insight from past successful applicants
Please note: Guidance in these sessions is generic and not tailored to individual evidence. We cannot evaluate nor confirm whether specific evidence will be accepted, nor comment on submitted applications or past decisions.
