Post Graduate Training in Internal Medicine MRCP(UK)

As a young doctor in training for his or her final specialist post, there is a requirement for increasing responsibility to his or her patients.   For physicians in training the basic qualification and entry to higher specialsit training is the Diploma of Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom (MRCP(UK)), which is a common membership examination shared between the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians of London. 

The fundamental purpose of our post graduate course is to educate physicians. The prime objective of all professionals, physicians included, is to apply a sophisticated body of knowledge and skills to the solution of problems faced by people. In doing so, the individual will follow self-imposed standards of performance - standards that will be higher than those required legally. The physician professional is a morally responsible, action-oriented problem solver on behalf of people .

The membership course complements the other aspects of the educational programme enjoyed by all young phsysicans in Tayside.
