Welcome to the RCPE website

The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) is a professional membership organisation. Our principal concern is to develop and oversee an ongoing programme of medical examinations, education and training for qualified doctors who wish to undertake postgraduate education and training in order to pursue a career in specialist (internal) medicine.

In addition to providing educational and professional support for doctors, the RCPE is actively involved in representing the views of doctors in discussions with others, including government, and promoting the public health.

If you would like to learn more about our wide range of membership benefits please access How to join for further details.
