MRCPI General Medicine Part II Clinical | Ireland

Ireland Clinical Examinations

Our next examinations in Ireland are currently planned to take place between 22 September - 18 October 2025, this is subject to change but we do plan to hold the examinations between these dates. The application to register interest is open and will close on Wednesday, 30th July at 5pm Irish time.

Candidates awaiting results from the Part II Written exam in July cannot apply until they receive their results. You should not apply unless you are eligible. We may reopen the examination after the planned closing date, we will communicate this to candidates after the exam results are sent if they passed.

Candidates who have sat or are due to sit another clinical examination cannot apply for any clinical examinations until they have received their results. 

As there are a large number of candidates waiting to take the MRCPI Part II GM Clinical Examination in 2025, the number of applications is expected to exceed the places we can offer at this time. As with previous diets, places will be prioritised as outlined in the FAQ.

All candidates will be contacted within the 2 weeks following the closing date (before 13 August) informing them if we can offer a place or not. Those offered a place will need to pay the outstanding fees to confirm their slot. Once places are accepted and allocated, we will then allocate candidates to their specific venues/dates. We aim to fill all available places and inform a majority of candidates of their exam date/venue by the end of August. Candidates do not have a choice of venue or date of their examination and exam dates cannot be changed once assigned. If a candidate cannot sit the examination on a certain date/week, they need to inform the Examinations Team via exams@rcpi.ie before the exam has closed for public application so we can advise.

Applicants who cannot be offered a place for this exam, will remain on the waiting list. If a place becomes available due to a candidate withdrawing from the exam or not submitted their fees in time, this place will be offered to the next eligible person. The next examination to take place in Ireland following this diet, will be in January/February 2026.

Results for this clinical exam are expected to be released in mid November 2025.

Applications Open (Ireland 22 September - 18 October 2025) Please note:
