How you can join the College

Medical team. © RCPE, Neil McKayThe RCPE is a leading body for physicians in the UK and internationally with around 12,000 Fellows and members.  Membership entitles you to voice your opinions through e-mail consultations and meetings of members, so that the College can represent your views on training, revalidation and health delivery to the governments of the UK.  Membership also allows you free access to RCPE online education, an interactive education portal that offers online and blended learning modules, along with recorded lectures from RCPE education events. Members also benefit from large savings on fees for specialist training, educational events and the hire of College facilities in Edinburgh.  In addition, Members receive the quarterly Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and can access a range of services in our excellent Historic Library.

The main gateway to Collegiate membership is passing the MRCP(UK) examination which we jointly run with the Glasgow and London Colleges. Other junior doctors and medical students may receive many of the benefits of membership by becoming e-Associates or Associates.  Fellowship is awarded to those with consultant or equivalent status across the world.

I very much hope that you will join and I look forward to meeting you. If you have any questions after reading these pages please email secretary@rcpe.ac.uk.
