About The Joint Committee on Intercollegiate Examinations (JCIE)
The Joint Committee on Intercollegiate Examinations (JCIE) was established in 1987 by the four surgical Royal Colleges of Great Britain and Ireland. In line with the statutory requirements of the General Medical Council, it is responsible for the supervision of standards, policies, regulations and professional conduct of the surgical Specialty Fellowship Examinations. The JCIE is the parent body for its ten surgical Specialty Boards.
The JCIE is made up of surgeons, including the Presidents of the four Colleges or their representatives, the Chairs of the 10 Intercollegiate Specialty Boards and representatives of national surgical trainees and staff grade surgeons not in training. It meets three times a year, in Edinburgh, where the JCIE staff team is based.
