RCPSG is committed to working collaboratively with the other surgical and physician colleges in the UK and Ireland.

The information below gives a summary of the intercollegiate structure for surgical, medical, and dental training and a brief overview of  RCPSG’s specific roles within the intercollegiate structure.

Surgical Trainees
The Joint Committee in Surgical Training (www.jcst.org) brings together the RCPSG, the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland (RCSI), the Royal College of Surgeons of England(RCSEng), and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) to form the central training body for post graduate surgical training.

The JCST also hosts the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP), which is the online curriculum and assessment programme for surgical trainees. To find out more about the ISCP go to www.iscp.ac.uk

The examination bodies for surgical trainees are the Intercollegiate Surgical Basic Examination (ICBSE) and the Intercollegiate Specialty Fellowship Examinations (www.intercollegiate.org.uk) also known as the Joint Committee on Intercollegiate Examinations (JCIE).

Registration with the JCST is a requirement for those specialty trainees working towards a CCT in a surgical specialty.

Physician Trainees

The JRCPTB also holds the responsibility for the development of the curriculum for physician trainees. For more information about the JRCPTB and the development of curriculum for physicians go to  www.jrcptb.org.uk
