This free event is particularly aimed at histopathology doctors who are looking to make a Portfolio Pathway application to the GMC, and any individuals who are supporting them in their application (e.g. trainers).

The Portfolio Pathway is the route to specialist registration for doctors who have not completed a GMC-approved programme in Histopathology but who can demonstrate that they have the relevant knowledge, skills and experience.

Doctors applying for specialist registration via the Portfolio Pathway will need to provide evidence that they have the knowledge, skills and experience required to practise as a specialist in the UK. Doctors must demonstrate how they meet the high-level outcomes, known as Capabilities in Practice (CiPs) as outlined in the Histopathology curriculum. Guidance for Histopathology Portfolio Pathway applicants is available on the College website.

This free event is particularly aimed at histopathology doctors who are looking to make a Portfolio Pathway application to the GMC, and any individuals who are supporting them in their application (e.g. trainers). All attendees are strongly advised to familiarise themselves with the College’s histopathology guidance for the Portfolio Pathway before attending in order to get the most out of the session.
