The examination will consist of in-course assessment of a form approved by the Medical Sciences Board.

In determining whether a candidate has passed the examination, the examiners will take account of the candidate's overall record of assessment without necessarily requiring a satisfactory performance in every constituent part.
Candidates may be required to undergo oral examination.
