Organised jointly by RCPE and NHS Lothian, we have deliberately structured the course so that much of the learning will take place in small groups of 4 or fewer, with teaching delivered by trained faculty, many of whom have previous examining experience. Patients, surrogates and the setting for the course are all up to the standard expected in the PACES exam itself.
An intensive revision course over three days covering all MRCP PACES stations.
-
Structured bedside teaching with emphasis on examination technique, presentation, history and communication skills and highlighting what examiners are looking for in the PACES exam.
-
Small groups of 4 candidates per lecturer throughout the teaching sessions of the course to encourage a relaxed and supportive learning environment.
-
Carefully chosen clinical cases with a variety of diagnoses and well-trained surrogates covering all the MRCP PACES stations with special emphasis on common themes and problem stations.
-
Station 5 in new format (Integrated Clinical Assessment)
-
Guidance to achieve the new PACES pass standard in each of the seven skills (A-G) assessed in PACES exam
Please note that delegates who attend this course in Edinburgh will not be able to sit their PACES exam in Edinburgh. However, delegates may also have the RCPE arrange their PACES exam at a centre in another city where the RCPE also runs the exams.
