Frequently Asked Questions — Foundation Doctors
What is the MSRA and how do I prepare?
The Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MSRA) is used to shortlist for many specialty training programmes. Preparation usually combines a dedicated MSRA question bank with timed practice. See the question banks above or the MSRA resources in the catalogue.
How do I strengthen my specialty application?
Beyond the MSRA, applications reward evidence of commitment to specialty, teaching, quality improvement and leadership. Courses covering portfolio building, interview preparation and presentation skills can help you score well against the person specification.
Which courses count towards my portfolio?
Many courses provide CPD certificates you can upload as evidence. Check each provider for certification, and prioritise activities that map to your foundation curriculum and ARCP requirements.
Do I need to start membership exams during foundation?
Some foundation doctors begin membership exam preparation (e.g. MRCP or MRCS) toward the end of FY2, depending on their intended specialty. It is not required during foundation, but early groundwork can help if you are heading into a membership-exam pathway.
