Specialty training

We have put together the following resources to guide prospective trainees through the process of specialty training. You will find details on how the program is structured, how you will be assessed, and what certification you can expect at the end of your training.

Obstetrics & gynaecology (O&G) specialty

O&G is a wide-ranging specialty with an extensive training programme, offering numerous opportunities for personal career development in both medical and surgical fields.

Healthcare professionals specialising in O&G will complete a training programme that lasts up to seven years in the UK. The core training (ST1-7) includes three exams (MRCOG), which trainees must pass to earn the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) and be entered on the Specialist Register.
