Specialty Training in Medicine

We provide a range of specialty insights to help you through the crucial decision of choosing your medical specialty. These insights provide valuable first-hand perspectives from our experienced members and fellows. Find out why they chose their specialty, what you need to be selected, pros and cons of each specialty, along with a day in the life of someone working in this field (although with most practices, no two days are the same!). 

Digital Education

We have led the way in providing a range of services that can be accessed wherever you are and whenever you need them, through our events at the College, web streaming, and our Education Portal.

The RCPE community provides a rich source of learning resources and sign posting to opportunities. As a trainee that rotates very frequently in my day to day job it is important to have a feel of being part of a larger cohesive community.
