Candidates who have sat or are due to sit another clinical examination cannot apply for any clinical examinations until they have received their results. 

As there are a large number of candidates waiting to take the MRCPI Part II GM Clinical Examination in 2025, the number of applications is expected to exceed the places we can offer at this time. As with previous diets, places will be prioritised as outlined in the FAQ. All candidates will be contacted within the 2 weeks following the closing date (before 11 December) informing them if we can offer a place or not. Those offered a place will need to pay the outstanding fees to confirm their slot. Once places are accepted and allocated, we will then allocate candidates to their specific venues/dates. We aim to fill all available places and inform a majority of candidates of their exam date/venue by the middle of December. Candidates do not have a choice of venue or date of their examination.

Applicants who cannot be offered a place for this exam, will remain on the waiting list. If a place becomes available due to a candidate withdrawing from the exam or not submitted their fees in time, this place will be offered to the next eligible person. The next examination to take place in Ireland following this diet, will be in May/June 2025.

Results for this clinical exam are expected to be released in mid March 2025.
