Recent changes in the structure of the examination for M.R.C.P. (U.K.) have prompted a review of these together with a historical outline of the examinations which preceded it at the Royal Colleges of Physicians of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London.Part I of the examination continues to fulfil its role as a screen and a slight change in the marking system appears to have improved its discriminating powers still further. The major change in part II is the substitution of a more objective written test in place of the essay papers.
英国皇家内科医师资格考试（M.R.C.P.）结构的近期变化促使人们对其进行审视，并回顾爱丁堡、格拉斯哥和伦敦皇家内科医学院在此之前的考试历史概况。考试第一部分继续发挥其筛选作用，评分系统的细微变化似乎进一步提高了其甄别能力。第二部分的主要变化是用更客观的笔试取代了论文考试。
