The MRCGP [INT] (International Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners) is a highly regarded postgraduate qualification for family medicine physicians. It is awarded by the Royal College of General Practitioners (UK) and delivered through multiple accredited international examination centers.
These centers are set up in collaboration with local health authorities and universities to ensure that the assessment standards meet RCGP criteria, while remaining relevant to the regional context of family medicine practice.
