DPCD RCSI vs. MFD Part 1: Key Differences & Certification

Quick pop question:

If you pass the DPCD RCSI today, and I pass MFD Part 1 RCSI, who gets a certificate first?

Answer: You!

The Diploma in Primary Care Dentistry (DPCD) is a single-part examthat grants you a certificate immediately upon passing, unlike the MFD, which is conferred only after both parts are successfully completed. This allows DPCD candidates to use the Post Nominalsimmediately after conferral.

However, while DPCD offers faster certification, MFD RCSI Part 1 candidates have a higher chance of passing compared to the other examination, based on recent performance data. The DPCD pathway is often considered the cost-effective option, as it is cheaper than MFD Part 1. Both examinations offer robust opportunities for professional growth.
