Quality assured
In the competitive worldwide environment, we know that we cannot stand still. Our examinations are continually subject to change and scrutiny to meet the demands of modern medicine. This process of continual review and challenge is overseen by the Federations Academic, Quality Management and Research Committee (AQMRC), which is made up of leading physicians. The AQMRC Committee is responsible for guaranteeing the academic quality of the examinations. It monitors at all times the level of achievement that the examinations represent, and is responsible for ensuring that any complaints are properly handled. In addition, we are working with the US National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME), applying sophisticated statistical and psychometric techniques to ensure that, each time candidates sit the MRCP(UK), the questions are appropriate and consistent, and the marking is fair and objective.
