Candidates eligible for application must submit their FCPS Part 1 certificate by December 20 for January induction and by June 20 for July induction.

Although you can submit applications for many specialties at once, each department requires its own set of fees, form and requirement.

Certainly, applicants for multiple specialties will undergo separate examinations, and it’s important to note that the timing for each exam has been modified.
