Qualifications

Primary medical qualification

Firstly you are required to give details of your primary medical qualification, including the qualification, course dates, country, medical school and award date. This is a mandatory field.

Undergraduate degrees/qualifications

Below this is a section where any undergraduate degrees you have achieved can be added to your form. To do this, select the relevant qualification from the drop-down list - the form will then automatically bring up a free-text box where you can add the relevant details.

If you have further undergraduate degrees to add, click the 'Add New Qualification' button and a new drop-down menu will appear below the details you have just added. Select the appropriate qualification from this list as above, and continue to repeat this process as many times as is necessary. Please note that any qualification can be amended as required at any time.

To delete any qualifications, click the 'Delete Qualification' box. However, only the most recent qualification can be deleted, so please be careful when doing this.

As ever, any degrees/qualifications you add here will need to be supported by evidence at interview, should you be invited.

Postgraduate degrees/qualifications

The process of adding postgraduate degrees/qualifications is exactly the same as for undergraduate, above.

MRCP(UK) details

Each of the three diploma parts is listed here, with an accompanying 'Yes'/'No' field - please state whether you have passed each of the exams. Where you select 'Yes' in any case, you will be asked to give the date of passing the exam.

As noted elsewhere, to be eligible for an ST3 post, you must have gained MRCP(UK) Part 1 (or equivalent) at the time of application.

MRCP(UK) Part 2 and PACES need only be gained by the time of post start date (August 2012 in most cases) - to be eligible you need only have gained Part 1 when you apply. However, having the full diploma at time of application is listed as a desirable characteristic in the ST3 person specifications; thus candidates who do have the full diploma at time of application will be at an advantage when applications come to be short-listed.

Equivalent examinations

If you have an equivalent membership examination, you will be invited to give details here, including name of examination and date sat/qualification gained.

Further items for this section which do not fit into the above sections can be added here:

Additional achievements

If you have any achievements you wish to add beyond those described earlier in the page, please select an appropriate option from the 'Achievement' drop-down list, and proceed to add details as necessary. Subsequent achievements can be added in the same manner as qualifications (see above).

Training courses attended

The last part of this section requires you to give details of training courses you have attended. To begin with, click 'Add Training Course', and then complete the details of course title, provider, duration and completion date as necessary - all items are mandatory. As above, click 'Add Training Course' to add further course details.
