What is MRCPI?

The MRCPI OBG is a postgraduate medical qualification accredited by the Irish Medical Council, recognised globally as a benchmark in Obstetrics & Gynaecology and a gateway to international practice and advanced specialty training.

The exam has two parts — a written theory paper and an in-person clinical assessment. The OSCE includes six 10-minute stations (with at least one rest station), while the Clinical Examination is a 25-minute simulated case. Together, they assess clinical knowledge, diagnostic reasoning, and patient management skills.

• Have passed the MRCPI O&G Part 2 Written within the past three years.

Number of Attempts

RCPI rules limit candidates to a maximum of six attempts for each Part of the MRCPI examination. In other words, each of the parts may be attempted up to six times (a total of 18 attempts across all Parts).

There is a time limit of six years to pass the MRCPI O&G Part 2, and three years from thereon  to attempt and clear MRCPI O&G Part 2 OSCE/Clinical.

Exam Structure

The MRCPI exam is given in two parts.

MRCPI O&G Part 2 Written: 

MRCPI O&G Part 2 Written is a three hour long paper delivered via remote invigilation through TestReach. This means that candidates may sit the exam in an appropriate, secure place of their choosing, subject to the guidelines and requirements of the RCPI. The paper consists of 100 Single Best Answer (SBA) questions, each presenting candidates with a ‘Vignette’ (Clinical Scenario) followed by five possible answers. There is no negative marking for this paper.

MRCPI O&G Part 2 OSCE/Clinical

The MRCPI Part OSCE/Clinical, as the name suggests, has two components which are given in person at an exam location. The first part is an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) consisting of six stations, each running ten minutes long. And the Clinical component of the MRCPI O&G Part 2 is a long simulated clinical case of 25 minutes where the candidates will be observed in action by two examiners. They have to gather history and may need to have patient interaction, before discussing the case with the examiners.

Upcoming Exams

Although MRCPI OBG examinations are conducted in three diets every year, deadlines for the first two diets are well past at the time of writing. This leaves candidates with a single diet to appear for MRCPI O&G tests in the year 2026.
