The self-assessment section of the application form is where you will be required to select the most appropriate option from a list of statements for each domain included. Should applications exceed interview capacity, candidates will be invited in order of score; with tie-breakers being employed for applicants with the same total score using each of the domains in turn. Shortlisting is the only stage at which the self-assessment score will be used; although you will have opportunity at interview to summarise and discuss your achievements, and this will form a significant contribution to the interview score.
The options, scores available and supplementary guidance for each area are detailed on a separate tab in this section.
All achievements should relate to the field of medicine, except where specified otherwise.
Selection of options solely candidates' responsibility
Selection of options must be absolutely at your discretion alone. We have attempted to clarify the wording of options and provide guidance on the website, but under no circumstances can we advise you on which options to select.
Experiences and achievements will not always fit neatly under one option or another so you will need to employ your professional judgement to ascertain which of the available options is the most appropriate to the best of your knowledge and belief. If required, you must be able to provide evidence for all achievements you cite and justify the option you selected.
You will be required to add text for each selection to demonstrate why you chose that option.
Automated scores
Applications are scored automatically and, at the shortlisting stage, scores are based entirely on each candidate's self-assessment of their achievements using the options selected from each of the domains.
Over-claiming
It is acknowledged that, on occasion, it will not always be clear exactly which option to choose and so cases of perceived over-claiming are not likely to be considered as a serious offence.
It is important that your scoring accurately represents your achievements, as applications are not routinely re-scored, but you must be able to justify your selection and provide evidence if required. Any instances of candidates found to be blatantly or persistently trying to gain an unfair advantage by over-claiming scores and/or exaggerating their achievements will lead to a probity investigation and applicants in this position should expect to be contacted to review their scoring. This could lead to an application being deemed not appointable, or, in very serious cases, could be reported as a probity matter to the GMC; however, this is a very rare outcome and only in cases of overt cheating.
In the event that you realise after submitting your form that you have overclaimed on your form, you must send details to the Physician Specialty Recruitment Office as soon as possible.
Completed achievements only
When you come to submit your application, all information within it must be accurate at the time of submission - any qualifications not yet gained, courses not yet taken, presentations not yet given, etc. should not be included at this point. An achievement gained even on the day after the closing date for applications cannot be counted.
An exception is publications which have been completely accepted and are 'in press'.
However, whilst you cannot select a point-scoring option on the basis of incomplete achievements, you are welcome to mention it in the text box for that section so that interviewers can be aware of your activities.
Multiple achievements in a single domain
If you have more than one achievement in an area which only allows you to choose an option for one, you should select the option corresponding to your highest scoring achievement. Whilst the supporting text should focus on the achievement claimed, you are welcome to use the space to mention your other achievements in the area.
Achievements in multiple domains
If you have an achievement which could potentially fit under more than one domain, for example doing a presentation based on a publication, it is acceptable to claim under both options.
Text to justify option chosen
There will be one or more text boxes for each domain where you will be required to add text to demonstrate why you chose that option. Each section will have a maximum word count, however, we advise that you keep your explanations as short as possible to justify the selection.
Interviewers have limited time to review application forms and the more succinct you can be about your achievement, the more straightforward it will be for them to review your application.
Evidence of achievements
It is likely that you will not need to provide any supporting evidence for your claims. However, you must have access to documentation proving every claim you make as you could be asked to supply evidence as part of a randomised audit to check applications have been scored fairly, or there are specific concerns about your self-assessment. The evidence documents section of the website has further information about this area.
It is not possible to be prescriptive about what evidence will be acceptable to justify your selection, although examples have been given in each domain of the types of evidence that could be supplied. The key is that it is sufficient for the reviewer to be confident that you have claimed correctly.
Evidence needs to be in a format that reviewers can understand and quickly verify the achievement. Supplying too much documentation is discouraged, acknowledging it needs to be sufficient.
A certified, authenticated translation should be provided for any documentation which is not written in English.
Time limit
There is no set number of years within which you need to have completed the achievements listed, however any achievements claimed must have been gained after commencing your medical (or first undergraduate) degree, i.e. achievements from school or before university cannot be claimed.
Help & FAQs
We have attempted to record the most commonly-received queries on the application FAQs section of this website, therefore please review this area first to see if this is of assistance.
If after reading the guidance you are still unsure you can contact us but please be aware (in most cases) we cannot tell you which option to choose.
Training in teaching
Training in teaching
Training can only be included in this section if it was specifically focused on teaching. Qualifications and courses about education more generally can be included in the ‘Postgraduate qualifications’ section, if the course meets the requirements for any of the scoring options.
Examples of evidence
There are two forms of evidence needed:
- Completion of training: Evidence of completion will normally be a certificate from the course provider. Where you do not have access to it, a letter from the organiser confirming attendance on the course or completion of the qualification will suffice.
- Course delivery: You will need to provide a course outline which confirms the duration and how the programme is delivered.
Additional information
The 'Overview' tab has some general guidance on scoring, so please review this if you are unclear, however please be aware we cannot give guidance on which specific option to choose.

Additional undergraduate degrees and qualifications
In this section it is permissible to select some of the options for non-medical related qualifications; e.g. a BSc in psychology; it will be specified against each option where this is the case.
Degree classifications
If you have gained a degree/qualification which does not have a classification which fits in with the usual UK grading system (ie 1st, 2:1, etc.) please select the option here which you deem equivalent based upon your knowledge of the grading systems within the UK and the country where you gained your qualification.
You will be required to justify your selected option on the application form as to why you deemed this the equivalent option; interviewers may ask you about this further at interview.
Intercalated degrees
Intercalated degrees are usually awarded at bachelors’ level but are sometimes given at masters level. Regardless of which level your degree was awarded at, all intercalated degrees should be scored in this section, even if the award was a masters
Undergraduate or postgraduate?
In the event that you have gained a qualification which could be included under either the undergraduate or postgraduate degrees/qualifications section, you can include this under whichever of the two sections you feel is most appropriate.
However, you should only include this under one section or the other, but not both.
Examples of evidence
Where possible you should be able to show your degree certificate. Where you do not have access to it, a letter from the awarding body confirming the qualification will suffice.

This space is for you to mention anything which you think is of relevance, but which cannot be categorised above. |
Postgraduate degrees and qualifications
In this section it is permissible to select some of the options for non-medical related qualifications, eg a PhD in psychology; it will be specified against each option where this is the case.
Degree classifications
Where you have gained a degree/qualification which does not appear to fit exactly within one of the options available here, please select the option here which you deem equivalent based upon your knowledge of the level of the qualifications within the UK and the country where you gained your qualification.
You will be required to justify your selected option on the application form as to why you deemed this the equivalent option; interviewers may ask you about this further at interview.
Intercalated degrees
Intercalated degrees cannot be scored in any section of self-assessment. These are usually awarded at bachelors’ level but are sometimes given at masters level. Regardless of which level your degree was awarded at, you cannot claim for intercalated degrees in this, or any other, section.
Teaching postgraduate qualifications not to be included
Please note that any postgraduate qualifications related to teaching that you may have gained (eg. PG Cert, PG Dip etc) should not be scored for in this section, and should instead be included in the Training in Teaching section. However qualifications relating to the field of education more broadly can be claimed in this section, if they meet the criteria for that scoring option.
MRCP(UK) not included
Please do not include details of MRCP(UK) (or other postgraduate examinations required for entry to higher specialty training) within this section.
Examples of evidence
Where possible you should be able to show your qualification certificate. Where you do not have access to it, a letter from the awarding body confirming the qualification will suffice.
Additional guidance
The 'Overview' tab has some general guidance on scoring, so please review this if you are unclear, however please be aware we cannot give guidance on which specific option to choose.
| Postgraduate degrees and qualifications | ||
|---|---|---|
| Option | Score available | Notes |
| PhD or MD by research (can include non-medical related qualifications) | 4 |
You undertook research involving original work, usually of at least two to three years' duration, and ideally resulting in one or more peer-reviewed publication. A majority of the time during the period should have been dedicated to research rather than clinical training. To score yourself for an MD it should meet the UK definition of an MD: A supervised research degree for students already registered with the General Medical Council, is studied full time over 2 years or 4 years part time awarded a doctorate if your thesis is judged to represent an original contribution to knowledge in your chosen area. |
| Masters level degree eg MSc, MA, MRes, etc. (can include non-medical qualifications). Typically lasts 8 months or longer, full-time equivalent | 3 |
This must be a specific course that usually lasts for three university terms (or equivalent) and is eight months' or more duration (full time equivalent); it must not be claimed for upgrading a bachelor’s degree without further study as is offered in some universities. You cannot claim this option for qualifications which are gained as part of a programme where a substantial amount of time was spent in clinical training, with significant overlap in capability attainment with Internal Medicine Stage 1. |
|
Other relevant postgraduate diploma or postgraduate certificate typically lasting between one and ten months (whole-time equivalent). You cannot claim for any membership examinations, or parts thereof, from within or outside the UK; this includes the MRCP(UK). Qualifications unrelated to medicine cannot be claimed for in this option.* |
1 |
This option is for relevant postgraduate courses / modules - eg diploma of tropical medicine and hygiene etc. It is not permissible to claim points for partially completed qualifications - e.g. 1 year of a three-year degree. You can claim this option for an MD or masters degree (by teaching, usually including a dissertation), where a substantial amount of time was spent in clinical training and being taught; the dissertation is a smaller part of the programme, not usually involving new research. In addition to not being able to claim for the MRCP(UK) in this section, you also may not claim for other specialties' membership examinations (e.g. MRCGP) or any similar qualifications from outside the UK (e.g. MRCP Ireland, FCPS Pakistan). ** For a qualification to count, the eligibility criteria must specify that only graduate entrants can apply. |
| None/other: please specify | 0 |
This space is for you to mention anything which you think is of relevance, but which cannot be categorised above. Please note that entries under this option do not gain marks at the application stage, but may be one of the factors taken into account by interviewers when deciding upon their interview scoring. |
* The text for this option was updated on 16 October 2024.
** For IMT it will remain that no specialty membership exams can be claimed as these are not possible for a foundation trainee to have completed
Presentations / posters
Typically, you will be invited or selected to give a presentation or show your poster. In situations where you are solely presenting or showing your poster because you have paid a fee you may only select the “none/other” option.
What can be claimed in this section?
Whether it is a presentation or a poster, your achievement should include delivery of novel data; e.g. research, a complex clinical case or a quality improvement project. This section should not include presentations primarily aimed at teaching.
What is a medical meeting?
Typically, this will be an audience of doctors and/or healthcare professionals attending away from their normal place of work for which attendees will be undertaking continuing professional development. The exception to this is the option for a local meeting where the audience is predominantly internal to that workplace.
What is a presentation?
'Presentations' referred to here are oral presentations, with or without slides, attended synchronously by an audience of healthcare professionals.
These can be of anything related to medicine, typically a case or case series, research or other topic. It would normally be expected to include a question and answer session. This does not include oral poster presentations, which are scored under separate options.
Posters
To claim for a poster, you should have had significant involvement in the underlying research and compilation of the poster (first or second author). You need not have personally presented the poster; however, there must have been a defined opportunity for discussion during the conference/meeting at which it is displayed.
Examples of evidence
Evidence should cover two areas:
- Confirmation that your presentation/poster was accepted and included at a meeting. This should be in the form of a confirmatory letter or certificate from the meeting organiser or evidence of inclusion in the abstracts book for the meeting. Claims for international/national meetings that are not accompanied by a document listing the abstracts of the presentations and posters included at that meeting, may be downgraded during the evidence verification process.
- The content of the presentation/poster. This would include the abstract (where applicable) submitted to the organiser and a copy of the presentation slides or poster.
Additional guidance
The 'Overview' tab has some general guidance on scoring, so please review this if you are unclear, however please be aware we cannot give guidance on which specific option to choose.
| Presentations | ||
|---|---|---|
| Option | Score available | Notes |
| An oral presentation in which I was a first or second author was given at a national or international medical meeting | 6 | International/national meetings should involve a document listing the abstracts of the presentations and posters included at that meeting. National meetings must be open to anyone in the country and international meetings must be open to anyone from a range of countries. For the purposes of scoring in this section, the home UK nations will be treated as separate nations. For example, a presentation at a Scotland-wide medical meeting will be considered as a national presentation. |
| A poster in which I was a first or second author was shown at a national or international medical meeting | 4 | As above |
| An oral presentation in which I was a first or second author was given at a regional medical meeting | 3 | Regional means that participation is confined to, for example, a county, medical training region, health authority, or beyond a recognised cluster of hospitals; for example, in the UK a multi-site trust or health board would count as local rather than regional. |
| An oral presentation in which I was a first or second author was given at a local medical meeting | 2 | Local usually means participation is confined to a single local hospital, trust, health board or university. |
| A poster in which I was a first or second author was shown at a regional or local medical meeting | 2 | See the options above for notes about what regional/local entails. |
| None/other: please specify | 0 | This option can be used for anything else you think is relevant that cannot be categorised above, including presentations not yet delivered. Please note that entries under this option do not gain marks at the application stage, but may be one of the factors taken into account by interviewers when deciding upon their interview scoring. |
Publications
PubMed citations
Any item included under an option stating 'PubMed-cited' must be cited in PubMed, so as to demonstrate that it is both peer-reviewed and relevant to medicine.
Where possible, you should include the PubMed reference when giving details of publications and the application form will require you to leave the web link for your article; Cochrane reviews can be regarded as equivalent.
The only exception to this is in the case of published medical books, which do not require PubMed citation.
Authorship
Any stated authorship must be recognised by PubMed within the author section of the citation system.
In press
Whilst achievements not yet gained cannot usually be claimed, an exception to this are any articles/publications which have been completely accepted, but are just waiting to be published - i.e. 'in press'.
Examples of evidence
- PubMed-cited articles - these must have a screenshot of the PubMed citation uploaded and the PubMed hyperlink should be included on the application form where it is available. If your article is 'in press' you will need to provide confirmation from the publisher that it has been accepted.
- Non-PubMed cited articles - a photocopy of the article/webpage where the article is found.
- Books related to medicine - evidence would normally include a copy of the book cover page, contents' page, list of contributing authors and evidence of the content; it is not expected that whole books are supplied but it needs to be sufficient to allow confirmation of your contribution. It is expected that books will be accompanied by an ISBN and evidence would include this number; claims without an ISBN may see the score downgraded.
Additional guidance
The 'Overview' tab has some general guidance on scoring, so please review this if you are unclear, however please be aware we cannot give guidance on which specific option to choose.
Below the table is a short glossary of terms used in the options.

| None/other: please specify | 0 | This option can be used for anything else you think is relevant that cannot be categorised above, including things not yet accepted for publication. Please note that entries under this option do not gain marks at the application stage, but may be one of the factors taken into account by interviewers when deciding upon their interview scoring. |
Glossary of publications section terms
In press - this means that your piece has been fully accepted for publication; no further alterations are required; and it is just waiting to be published.
PubMed - virtually all published articles relevant to medicine will have a unique PubMed ID number (PMID) assigned to it. If a published article does not have a PMID, it is unlikely to be relevant here.
Peer-reviewed - this means that your piece has been sent to one or more independent reviewers prior to acceptance for publication.
Submitted article - this cannot gain any marks at the short-listing stage, because it is not known if it will be published. However, you may wish to mention it to support your application, and you may wish to discuss this at interview.
First author - this means first on the list of authors.
Joint-first author - this is a specific definition and will be specified in the publication.
Collaborating author - being a collaborative author does not score any points unless you are specifically named as a main author, co-author or corresponding author.
Corresponding author – this is a specific definition and will be specified in the publication.
Co-author - this means that you are on the list of authors as recognised within the PubMed citation system, but are not first or joint-first author. Contributors recognised within the manuscript but not specified as an author within the PubMed citation system, cannot claim for this publication.
'Other' publication - anything that is not an original research article (or book/chapter) - e.g. editorials, reviews, abstracts, case reports, letters, etc. Online discussion forums or posted articles do not count.
Original research - this covers basic scientific research as well as systematic reviews/meta-analyses.
Teaching experience
Timescale of programmes
It is difficult to be prescriptive about timescales as it will depend on the regularity and length of sessions. What is important is that a lasting commitment to a meaningful teaching programme can be demonstrated. Therefore, you will need to use your professional judgement if your programme was less than three months on whether you can reasonably select this option and provide evidence accordingly.
Feedback
This means you have either evidence of senior observation and feedback (e.g. Developing the Clinical Teacher or Teaching Observation form) or that there has been collection and analysis of participants' feedback forms with a summary of the feedback. If your teaching experience does not have evidence of feedback, you will only be able to choose the 'none/other' option; although you will be able to describe your experience on your application form.
Examples of evidence
- Formal feedback - evidence of formal feedback collected is required for all scoring options. 'Feedback' section above details what is required from evidence.
To score the two highest scoring options you will additionally need to provide:
- Role in organisation and delivery - a letter from your local tutor/organisation confirming your contribution to the course and your specific role in the organisation and delivery of the programme
- Evidence of programme - evidence of the timetable, outline of the programme/content
Letters from a tutor/organisation responsible for your programme must be on a headed document from the organisation.

Quality improvement
The QI project (QIP) may be a new project or might involve the further development and sustainability of an existing change project. Clinical audits can be a type of QI project, if they use QI methodology. Your project must demonstrate use of recognised QI methodology, e.g. Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) cycles or equivalent.
Please note:
- If you have been involved in a long-running multi-cycle project, you can only claim points based on the cycles in which you were directly involved.
- If your project has not yet completed a single cycle, you can only select the 'none/other' option.
Examples of evidence
The preference is a QIPAT form. If this is not available, a headed document from your supervisor/organisation confirming similar information, which must as a minimum cover:
- QIP topic (The reason for the choice of QIP is clear, aims of the QIP are stated, SMART and trainee led)
- QI measures identified (Process, outcome and balancing measures identified)
- Demonstration of use of QIP methodology
- Change implementation (Documentation of progress, problems and unexpected observations. Run chart of results)
- Evaluation of change (Complete analysis of data. Data compared to predictions. Clear identification of what was learnt)
- Future application of the QIP considered
A fully completed QIPAT form or equivalent document will mean no additional evidence is required. If you feel you need to attach additional information to demonstrate your project, this could include: project outline/plan, the project presentation/poster; all evidence should describe your direct involvement.

Involvement in a project where a change/act/action step has not been carried out but only suggestions for change created/presented does not constitute involvement in all stages. Presentation of a project is not an essential stage as not all QI work requires presentation. It is likely that this involved working as part of a team but you must evidence your own role within the QI activity for all stages. |

Leadership and management
Roles related to the provision of healthcare or a non-medical voluntary capacity can both be included in this section.
Examples of roles in healthcare include: BMA national executive, trainee representative of a specialist society or college or a nationally held leadership and management fellowship.
Examples of roles in a non-medical voluntary capacity include: charity, scouting/guides, sports, creative arts, police/military.
Demonstrable impact
To score points in this role you must be able to indicate how you have made a difference in your leadership/management role; you will be given the opportunity to describe this on your application form.
Timing/duration of role
The point scoring options can only be used for roles which you have held since starting your first undergraduate degree (either your primary medical degree or a prior degree) and for a minimum of six months. The six months is as of the application closing date and no leeway is allowed to ensure consistency for all applicants.
Examples of evidence
Examples could include: minutes from meetings, a headed document, from the organisation in which the role was based, which confirms: your appointment to the role; the requirements of the role; your contribution and how you made an impact, a paper/report you have produced, formal feedback from colleagues.
Your evidence should be able to demonstrate that you held/have held the role for the six-month minimum.
