EXAMINATION OVERVIEW

The exam comprises of two written assessments at Harbourfront Centre and two Viva stations (each with a pair of examiners and 30 minutes duration).

The written examination will be delivered on a digital platform. Candidates should familiarise themselves with the platform via The Royal College of Radiologists website by accessing it here prior to the exam.

The Viva Voce stations will be conducted in a hybrid mode where candidates and examiners would be present on-site communicating via video conference.

Candidates would be examined by a pair of examiners and the examination content will be displayed via the video conferencing platform. Candidates will have access to functions for manipulating the displayed images. After 30 minutes, candidates will move to the second room and complete the second 30-minute session of the Viva Voce examination with a different pair of examiners.

As this is a conjoint exam, applicants can choose to apply for either one of the options:

Option 1: Final MMed (Diag Rad) standalone exam
Option 2: Final MMed (Diag Rad) and Final FRCR Part B exam

Applicants who opt for Option 1 are only required to pay the Final Master of Medicine (Diagnostic Radiology) [MMed (Diag Rad)] fee.

Applicants who opt for Option 2 are required to pay both the Final MMed (Diag Rad) fee as well as the Fellowship of Royal College of Radiology (FRCR) fee.
