How to become a member of GCRN
There are currently 2 pathways to become a GCRN member; Pathway 1; you have graduated from a college that is already a GCRN accredited college (currently only BCOM, the British College of Osteopathic Medicine), or Pathway 2; if you have graduated from any other college e.g. CNM you can follow another process which allows you to submit an application form and case histories of 4 patients. Please contact the secretary if you graduated from a non-UK based college.
