The application process takes some time to complete, so please apply well in advance of the given deadlines.
Please ensure that you fully complete all parts of the application, otherwise this will delay the processing of your application and late applications will not be accepted.
The link to all application forms will be made available here on the given day the application/s are due to open.
Candidates wishing to apply to the upcoming MRCEM OSCE can access our application portal by clicking the link below (available when the window opens). During busy periods, you may be temporarily redirected through a virtual queueing system to help ensure a smooth application process for all candidates.
We aim to give an outcome regarding your application no later than 4 weeks after the application window has closed. This allows our team time to individually review each application and, if we receive more applications than spaces available, allocate candidates using our Oversubscription Criteria.
You will not need to make a payment at this stage of your application. If you are allocated a space in the upcoming exam, we will email you with information on how to pay for your exam and details of the timeline to complete your payment. If your payment is not completed within that window, your application for the exam will be withdrawn and your space will be offered to the next candidate in order of the Oversubscription Criteria.
Please help us with our application approval process by checking the following details are up to date in your RCEM account:
