Can the MCPC/MCPD be trained virtually/remotely?

Yes, both can be done virtually. There are a few notes in the syllabus and Trainer Guide about how this might work. We intentionally didn’t include assessment of practical skills for this reason, and included Clinical Evidence Submission (eg a videoed consultation) rather than direct observations as part of the assessment.


Speak with your principal trainer about whether they offer virtual training and assessment for this qualification.
