To be eligible for MRCS Part 1, the Applied Basic Sciences section, you must hold a primary medical degree acceptable to the four Royal Surgical Colleges; meaning a degree from a medical school that is included on the World Health Organisations list. Each college used to hold examinations independently, but to a common syllabus. However, in January 2004, the four colleges switched over to a common examination, known as the Intercollegiate MRCS. Eligibility for MRCS Part 2 is granted to candidates who have completed their Basic Surgical Training (BST).
