• Have at least 36 months of clinical experience in obstetrics and gynaecology. 
• Submit a clinical logbook demonstrating your experience with procedures and clinical cases.

If you need a letter from the Exam Department confirming your attendance at the exam, please inform us when applying for the exam, and ensure that you apply in good time

The regulations state that candidates who withdraw their application for a particular exam after the closing date, or who fail to appear, shall forfeit the exam fee. The application forms include a reminder of this regulation. This means the College cannot refund your entry fee after an exam’s closing date and your candidature for the exam will remain. The College cannot make changes or transfers of centres after the closing date. If you fail to attend the exam, your entry will not be counted as an attempt.

In certain prescribed circumstances, the College does consider refunding the entry fee. If you wish to apply for this, please do so in writing (hard copy, not email or fax) to the MRCOG Part 3 Secretary at the RCOG at exams@rcog.org.uk immediately after the exam you failed to attend, enclosing documentary evidence to support your circumstances

Candidates are permitted four attempts at the MRCOG Part 3. Candidates who do not pass after four attempts are required to take the MRCOG Part 2 exam again.

No, but the College does require you to have attempted the MRCOG Part 3 at least once within seven years after passing the MRCOG Part 2
