Training by specialty

The College produces curricula and guidance for a range of medical, clinical scientist and veterinary pathology specialties.

The 2021 medical curricula must meet the Standards for curricula and assessment systems, set by the General Medical Council before they are published.

Higher Specialist Scientific Training (HSST) curricula must be approved by the Education and Training Scrutiny Group of Health Education England (HEE) before they are published. Clinical scientist specialties are identified by ‘HSST’ appearing next to the relevant specialty.
