Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) Examination
The Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) examination is a membership qualification delivered by RCS England and is delivered intercollegiately. This means that the exam is exactly the same regardless of the college a candidate sits with. For more information about the examination itself, please refer to the ICBSE website.
IMRCS & MRCS (ENT) - IMRCS (intercollegiatemrcsexams.org.uk)
There are 2 parts to the MRCS examination. The MRCS Part A is a written examination, taken by candidates in a third-party test centre. The MRCS Part B is an OSCE-style examination that takes place at venues in the UK and internationally.
We are recruiting three different types of examiners for the MRCS Part B exams, Surgical Examiner, Basic Science Examiner, and Lay Examiner.Surgical Examiner
If you are at least 8 years post completion of the MRCS Examination and currently practicing in surgery, can demonstrate experience of surgical practice to include outpatient work; in-patient work, independent operating, and emergency on-call work, you are eligible to apply.This is an excellent opportunity to develop leadership skills, support your own trainees, and travel the world to support the improvement of surgical provision.
Basic Science Examiner
If you are currently a fellow of a Royal Medical College or adjacent organisation and are active in postgraduate training/education/teaching and would like to develop further your leadership skills and travel the world to support the improvement of medical and surgical provision you are eligible to apply to join our Court of Examiners. We are currently looking for new examiners in the basic sciences area.Lay Examiner
We are looking for people outside of medicine/science to join our Court of Examiners and help us to deliver the MRCS Examination. Lay examiners provide vital patient perspective in our MRCS Part B examination, and you can join us as long as you are 18+ years old and do not have a medical or scientific background (including anyone working or trained as a healthcare practitioner in any field). This is an excellent opportunity to help us improve surgical outcomes and patient experience in a really practical wayExaminers attend MRCS Part B exams in person to examine candidates over the course of several days. The RCS England usually runs 2 sessions a day, delivering to around 40 candidates each day of an exam. For our examiners based in the UK (for surgical and basic science examiners, this means working or having primarily worked in the UK), there is the opportunity to attend both UK and international exams. This helps to support our goals of offering the exam to candidate internationally, as well as providing for UK trainees to obtain the MRCS qualification as a vital part of their training programme.
We currently deliver in a small number of centres/locations across England, as well as delivering in international locations including Egypt, India, Malaysia, and UAE.
If you meet the requirements of becoming an examiner and you live in any of those countries/regions, we would also be very happy to receive your application – ordinarily, those examiners living locally will be invited to examine in their nearest exam venue.

The Court of Examiners is the formal term for our entire cohort of MRCS examiners. It covers all three types of examiners and provides a forum for feedback and development, plus networking.
