Obstetrics & Gynecology Training in the U.K.
Hello OBGyn aspirants!
Lots of IMG doctors aspire to train in OBGyn in the U.K.
Let’s talk about how you can get into the training pathway and become a consultant in this dream specialty.
The pathway
The usual pathway for international doctors to get into OBGyn training is :
- Complete MBBS training in your home country
- Complete IELTS/ OET and pass PLABs
- Get registered with GMC
- Work as a doctor in a non-training surgical post (for 1 year) in the U.K. (preferably OBGyn). Make an OBGyn specific portfolio and C.V. during this duration.

- Apply for Obstetrics & Gynaecology training via Oriel.
- Appear for the MSRA ( Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment) which is a multiple-choice question-based examination. On successful assessment, you will be shortlisted for interviews.
- You will get a national training number (NTN) in OBGyn and you will start your training if successful in interviews.
- The pathway is a run-through pathway for 7 years (ST 1–7). ‘Run-through’ means that you do not have to reapply for specialty training after completing core training. You will apply once before core training. Once selected you will be eligible for the 7 years program which makes you a consultant on successful completion.
Let’s continue!
Examinations
You need to complete the following exams :
- MRCOG Part 1: In ST 1 or ST 2. Required to progress to ST 3.
- MRCOG Part 2: In ST 3 or ST 4 or ST 5. Required to progress to ST 6.
- MRCOG Part 3: After completing Part 2, in ST 3 or ST 4 or ST 5. Required to progress to ST 6.
10. Successful completion of training leads to CCT (Certificate of completion of training).
Viola! You are eligible to become an OBGyn consultant!
Important points to note
- If you have 24 months of experience in Obstetrics & Gynaecology after foundation years (internship), you are said to be overqualified for this pathway and you cannot train via this pathway.
- You can still go for the CESR route to become a consultant while you work as a non-training doctor in OBGyn.
