Medical Royal Colleges
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are a number of medical Royal Colleges in the United Kingdom. Each is responsible for a different speciality within the medical field. They are general charged with supervising the training of doctors within that speciality, although that responsibility has been somewhat taken over by PMETB in recent years.
