Part 1 Fellowship Examination April 2024
No previous experience in ophthalmology is necessary for candidates to sit the Part 1 FRCOphth but candidates will be required to pass this examination before they enter into the third year of ophthalmic specialist training.
The
structure is based on the learning outcomes from the curriculum for the
first two years of training. This includes basic sciences but also
theoretical optics and some pathology. There is no clinical component
and the syllabus is assessed by a theoretical written section.
From
August 2013, candidates are permitted a maximum of six attempts in
which to pass the Part 1 FRCOphth examination. Part 1 FRCOphth
examination attempts prior to August 2013 do not count towards the
number of attempts available.
Registration not available.
