About

A world leader in education, training, assessment and support for healthcare professionals

Story

By offering postgraduate medical education, examinations and assessments, as well as continuing professional development, our Fellows and Members are equipped to deliver the best possible care and medical practice that Scotland has to offer.

College has a long history of excellence and innovation in medicine, and continues to develop its sound reputation world-wide.

Our growing collegiate body is unique to the UK. It includes professionals in surgery, medicine, dentistry, and travel medicine. As a multidisciplinary body with 9,500 members across all five continents, our footprint for improving health is considerable.

College is however more than a place of professional learning and development for the Medical Community.

It is a historical site, a charity, a place of work, an information provider, and a body that influences governments and public policy.

Mission

To provide career support to membership through education, training, professional development, examinations and assessment, whilst acting as a charity and leading voice on health issues in order to set the highest standards of health care.
