Here is some useful information regarding the Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MSRA) for Locally Employed Doctors. The information provided is for guidance purposes only and whilst we will endeavour to keep this up to date it may change over time.

The MSRA is a computer based assessment used in the recruitment for various medical specialties. It evaluates essential competencies for healthcare professionals. This test is very important because it makes sure that the candidates have the right knowledge and abilities to take care of patients properly. The MSRA has two main parts: one is called Professional Dilemmas (PD) and the other is Clinical Problem Solving (CPS).
