That is one of the commonest question that candidates face while they are approaching to their post graduate studies especially for those who want to do MRCP.
Is there any difference between the value of MRCP uk and ireland? should a person prefer any one of those? which exam u find is more difficult when comparing both?
First of all for the difficulty, many people have many views.
The commonest view about it is that Irish part is more difficult than UK. However, the Irish questions are much more wonderful than the UK part ( this is for part I ) . UK part, in addition to simple questions; have some questions with options that are very basic and clinically oriented.
Both exams are not easy if someone goes unprepared.
In UK part they will ask you what's the diagnosis most of the time, but in Irish MRCP you must know diagnosis 1st n then what'd be next step for that diagnosis like investigation or treatment.
Preferences & Value:
Preferences for exam over each other, I think it depends what's your goal. If you want to move to UK, then go for MRCP UK only. However, if someone plan for Ireland then MRCPI should be preferred.
Since worldwide both diplomas are accepted, there shouldn't be much difference in choosing either.
