MFDS Examiners for the new tri-collegiate MFDS exam
The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and the Royal College of Surgeons of England (the three Colleges) are working together to introduce a tri-collegiate approach to curricula assessment. Part of this initiative includes the development of a new MFDS exam. The new examinations will start in 2026 and the examiners will be asked to play an important role in developing the exam and will work with the team supporting the new exams.
Applications for examiners who practice in the United Kingdom are now open. A second phase of applications will open for those practicing outside the United Kingdom at a later date.
Those currently appointed as examiners for the existing MFDS examinations offered by the Colleges are encouraged to apply to join the new MFDS examiner cohort, as these examinations are anticipated to be gradually phased out in the near future. During this transitional period, continued commitment to the existing MFDS examination is expected; therefore, applicants should ensure they have sufficient capacity to support both the current and new examinations.
