If you’re keen on a particular aspect of the specialty, this is the time to start laying down plans for how you can develop your interest further. To progress through training, you’ll need to achieve set competencies and have regular assessments. To progress to advanced training, you’ll need to complete all the intermediate competencies and pass the second part of the membership exam ( Part 2 MRCOG). In your final 2 years of training – which you need to complete before applying for your final qualification, the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) – you’ll consolidate the skills you’ve already learned during specialty training and develop your own interests in more detail. This will include topics such as medical management and clinical governance alongside clinical procedures, to ensure you’re properly prepared for the non-clinical aspects of working as a consultant in the NHS.Īs not all consultants will carry out the same breadth of work, the advanced training curriculum reflects the variety within the specialty. You can choose to complete Advanced Training Skills Modules (ATSMs) or apply for subspecialty training. There are 20 ATSMs to choose from, based on the skills suitable for future career progress within the consultant pathway described in the RCOG report The future role of the consultant.
You’ll be offered careers advice in ST4 to help you make realistic decisions about which ATSMs to take up in ST6.įind out more about ATSMs, including a list of all the modules.
