Specialty Certificate Examinations
The BSG, in partnership with the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK, has embarked upon a programme to deliver the Specialty Certificate Examination in Gastroenterology.
The Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE) is a compulsory component of assessment for Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) for all UK trainees whose specialist training in Gastroenterology began in or after August 2007. The examination compliments workplace-based assessments and ensures that trainees have sufficient knowledge to practice safely and competently as consultants. The first SCE in Gastroenterology took place in June 2008.
The next SCE in Gastroenterology is scheduled to take place on 30 September 2010.
All candidates who take the exam for the first time in 2010 and who are unsuccessful in their attempt will automatically be offered a retake at no extra charge.
