Standards and Requirements

The GMC has published three documents that set out all of our standards and requirements.

The three documents can be found by following the links below:

• Generic standards for specialty including GP training (revised, April 2010);
• Standards for curricula and assessment systems (revised, April 2010);
• Standards for deaneries (revised, April 2010).

And these replace the previous PMETB documents:

• The July 2008 edition of Standards for curricula and assessment systems;
• The July 2008 edition of Standards for deaneries;
• Generic standards for training (April 2006, revised July 2008);
• Principles for an assessment system for postgraduate medical training (September 2004); 
• Principles for deaneries (January 2008);
• Principles for entry to specialist training (January 2006);
• Standards for curricula (March 2005);
• Standards for trainers (January 2008).

We have also published frequently asked questions about the GMC's standards and requirements.
