e-Associates (FREE)

For medical students, FY1s and Physician Assistants

If you are a medical student or young doctor at the start of postgraduate training or a physician assistant you can become an e-Associate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh for FREE. This gives you the opportunity to understand the work of the College, to benefit from the on-line medical education available through the College website and to attend College educational events at a subsidised rate.

e-Associates can receive free benefits for up to 5 years or up to no later than 2 years after obtaining their primary medical qualification (whichever comes first). FY Trainees may wish to enrol as an Associate upon becoming fully registered and completing FY1 in order to access the wider benefits of this membership category (including a financial reduction on attending RCPE MRCP(UK) Part 2 Revision Courses.)

Benefits of becoming an e-Associate include -

• free access to the online specialty modules
• free access to our developing series of archived webstreamed presentations
• preferential rates for attendance at the rolling programme of RCPE update symposia, covering general/acute medicine and the medical specialties
• free attendance at the annual Trainees & Members’ Symposium
• access to the secure section of the RCPE website, offering regular College news and items of interest to the profession
• access to the RCPE Historic Library, which hosts one of the most important medical library collections in the world
• the ability to directly influence the RCPE and medical training through representation on the Trainees & Members’ Committee, and the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB) 

If you would like to become an e-Associate please complete the online registration form, you must agree to the rules of e-Associateship before you can join.
