Dual trainees in medical microbiology/infectious diseases and medical virology/infectious diseases
As part of an agreement between the JRCPTB and the Royal College of Pathologists, all dual trainees in medical microbiology and infectious diseases and medical virology and infectious diseases need to enrol with both Colleges. This is in order that dual trainees can also take advantage of the benefits this College offers to its own registered trainees.
