"The College will now have a centre in Rawalpindi (Pakistan) and in Irbid
(Jordan), where FRCPath Diploma written and FRCPath Part 1 written and
MCQ/EMQ candidates will be able to sit their Royal College of
Pathologists Examinations. The Examinations Guidelines and relevant
application forms will be updated to reflect that soon."

Below is the correspondence between an Examination Co-ordinator of Royal College of Pathologists and us:
Kindly
acknowledge about the validity of a news that MRCPath 1 exam is being
conducted in Pakistan!
Is it true?
Any guideline to prepare for it?
Thank you.

Dear Dr ul-Hasan,
Thank you for your e-mail.
With effect from Autumn 2011 there will be a Part 1 written examination centre in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. All communication should still be through the College here in London, however.
Before
applying for an FRCPath exam candidates should read the following: the regulations
and guidelines for 2011; the specialty specific regulations and
guidelines; the specialty
specific candidate information and the frequently asked
questions.
It is
difficult for the exams department to know for certain if candidates are
eligible without having seen your application form and CV. As we do not
want to put anyone off applying if they are actually eligible
Moreover, this decision should be made independently and without influence from
the College. Please note that rejected applicants are fully refundedrefunded.
If you are
still unsure whether they are eligible should discuss this with their
sponsor. Those not based in the UK should have a look at the curriculum for UK trainees
to see what the exam will be based on.
Payment for
an exam must be made via Worldpay
on the College website. Please check the exam fees page
first to ensure you pay the correct amount.
Finally, please send a
completed application form by post to
the College, along with your CV and passport photo if this is your first
application for an exam.
Please
contact me if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,
Helen
