Post-registration training - MRCPath

Registered clinical scientists are now required by the HPC to participate in continuing professional development (CPD). The TAB understands that the HPC recognises the CPD programme administered by the Royal College of Pathologists.

Membership of the Royal College of Pathologists (MRCPath) is a professional qualification which indicates a level of knowledge required for consultant-level posts. Membership is achieved by examination - parts 1 and 2.

Those preparing for exams may wish to participate in self-help courses, usually held annually either in London or Newcastle.

Mentors for MRCPath part 2: A list of members of the college who have agreed to act as mentors for part 2 is available from Sally Cottrell (scottrel@sgul.ac.uk). This list indicates the written option used. Some mentors are able to show a copy of the written work option.
