Fellow Royal College of Pathology Anyone?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It's a little bit convoluted. Generally speaking, UK pathologists in training sit for the MRCPath examination, and after 7/8 years get elected to Fellowship. However, M/FRCPath in itself doesn't give you UK specialist status.
While you can get FRCPath through publications (without any special training requirements) that's fairly uncommon.
I guess there's US MD's who has FRCPath, but that would most likely be because they're working in the UK. Can't really see what members/fellows of the Royal College of Pathology can use that designation for in the US.

Im curious because if I take a NHS Consultant position in a far flung corner of the British Empire, could I eventually get a FRCPath out of it?

Would look cool on my bus card:
*M.D, FCAP, FRCPath, Pirate (Act.), Ninja Master (Ret.)
