CREHST/ACEEHST Form: A Practical Guide for Aspiring OMFS Trainees

The CREHST form (Certificate of Readiness to Enter Higher Surgical Training), now formally known as the slightly less catchy ACEEHST (Alternative Certificate of Eligibility to Enter Higher Surgical Training), is a certificate of equivalence for Core Surgical Training (CST). It can be used by individuals who have gained core surgical experience outside a UK CST post but can demonstrate that they have achieved the same outcomes as a trainee completing CST with a satisfactory ARCP.
