<p> Prior to entry into specialist training, all trainees are required to complete a minimum period of 2 years General Professional Training (GPT) in approved Senior House Officer (SHO) posts, including 6 months of acute unselected medical admissions. A period of similar training in India may be considered by the Joint Committee on Higher Medical Training (JCHMT) on an individual basis.<br> · MRCP (UK or Ireland). Most trainees in the U.K. or Ireland will have obtained this diploma during their 2 years of GPT. Applicants who do not hold the MRCP diploma must satisfy the appropriate higher training body i.e. the JCHMT, that their qualifications and experience are equivalent to those required of U.K. applicants. The following overseas qualifications in General Internal Medicine are currently recognised as equivalent to the MRCP for entry into specialist training: </p> <p> <strong>American Boards of Internal Medicine</strong> </p> <p> FCPS (Pakistan) FRACP Part 1<br> FCP (South Africa) MHKCP<br> MD (Columbo) M Med (Singapore)<br> FRCP (Canada) M Med (Malaysia)<br> Aspiring trainees with other qualifications would be unwise to assume that their qualification is equivalent and should obtain the MRCP(UK) if they wish to train in the UK.<br> Further information on the JCHMT and specialist training in the UK may be found on: http://www.jchmt.org.uk </p>
