 requires prior success at MRCS Part A
Run-through ST2 trainees, and CT2 (uncoupled) trainees who are successfully appointed
to ST3 at national selection, can proceed to ST3 if they have attempted but failed to pass
MRCS Part B or DO-HNS Part 2 (ENT only) and if:
Either
 at least one of the February 2021 or May 2021 diets is cancelled
Or
 the trainee is denied access to one of these diets because of insufficient capacity due
to COVID-19 2
AND
Either
 the CT2/ST2 ARCP panel is content that the trainee has no other outstanding
curriculum requirements requiring extra training time at CT2/ST2 level 3
Or
 if there are other outstanding curriculum requirements due to COVID-19, which would
normally require extra training time at CT2/ST2 level, the CT2/ST2 ARCP panel is
content that it will be possible to meet these during ST3**
All trainees, with no exceptions, must pass MRCS Part B (DO-HNS Part 2, ENT only)
before progressing into ST4 .
