Here is the key information on specialties using the MSRA.
ACCS EM CT1/ST1
- If you are eligible, you are required to sit a Multi- Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MSRA).
- Your MSRA score will be used to short list should interview capacity be exceeded.
- If you are shortlisted, you will be invited to take part in an online interview, which will be scored.
- Your MSRA score will be scaled and combined with the online interview scores to produce a total score and final rank.
Clinical Radiology
- As part of the selection process all applicants will be required to sit the MSRA (unless they have not met the initial eligibility checks). The result from this will form your shortlisting score.
- You will be required to score above the minimum cut-off score in the MSRA exam – this is 201 on each of the 2 components.
- Any applicants applying under Disability Confident Scheme(DCS) will be required to score above the minimum cut-off score in the MSRA exam – this is 201 on each of the 2 components.
- Due to the volume of applications, we are adopting a revised approach to longlisting applications. Most eligibility checks will not be taking place until after the Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MSRA) results have been confirmed.
Clinical Psychiatry CT1
- All eligible applicants will be invited to sit the MSRA test.
- You will receive your MSRA score before initial offers are released.
- You must score at least 186 (raw score) in each of the two MSRA papers to be considered 'appointable.’
- Successful applicants will be able to transfer their recruitment score (MSRA results) from one recruitment round to another recruitment round.
- This option will only be valid within a 12-month recruitment cycle and is conditional upon the recruitment and selection process being unchanged in subsequent rounds.
- If you request to have your previous score transferred, you will be ranked with applicants in the current recruitment round.
- Tied scores If there are tied scores, the stations will be weighted in this order:
- MSRA Raw Score – Professional Dilemma Paper
- MSRA Raw Score – Clinical Problem-Solving Paper
Core Surgical Training ST1
- As part of the Oriel application form you will be asked to provide a self- assessment score depending on your personal achievements.
- You will be invited to sit an MSRA exam if you are longlisted.
- All applicants sitting the MSRA exam will be invited to upload evidence of their achievements to the Evidence Upload Portal.
- Only the top 1200 applicants will have their self-assessment evidence and score reviewed by Surgical consultants for the Portfolio section.
- A combination of your MSRA score, verified evidence score and scores at interview will be used to determine your final total score and ranking.
- Your total score will be a combination of MSRA (10%), verified evidence score (30%) and overall interview score (60%).
