There are a bunch of things that are common in real life, but uncommon in MRCP PACES due to selection bias. Here’s the list, plus two examples for each one: Each hospital in the UK has a dedicated postgraduate education unit and the MRCP PACES exam at that centre will be organised locally through this department. As such they will be able to inform you whether they can provide you with accommodation and how much it would cost or otherwise give you local advice about hotels that are nearby and travelling options. But we can tell you exactly which cases come up most commonly in MRCP PACES, based on the most comprehensive survey ever conducted of previous candidates. Our sources If you spend your time trying to find out information about a specific centre that is time spent away from practising your clinical skills. Trying to find out other candidates’ experiences from two years ago will be extremely unlikely to help you pass. When researching your exam centre it is important to make sure that there is at least 3-4 hours after the official end of your exam before you travel away from the exam centre. If there are delays in the exam you do not want to be worrying about travelling afterwards and only want to be focusing on the exam.

Highly recommended for PACES. You will have the ease to see all patients online at your own ease. Every penny well worth it. The videos are HD, the examination steps are systematic and the viva at the end is so informative. Thanks a lot Pastest! You have made it possible for me to pass at the first attempt at UK centre. I have attended no other course in the UK. PACES needs proper practice of the cases which are often given in the examination. Pastest's material provides enough resources and methodology to practice the same. I am sure, with the help of these materials, passing PACES is easy. We’ve listed the ten most common cases for all of respiratory, abdominal, neurology and cardiology. Demonstrations on how to examine real patients with evident clinical signs really helped. Also I love how many cases of the same disease were demonstrated just to show the spectrum of a disease's presentation.

And we’ve tallied and aggregated them for you here to provide the ultimate overview of MRCP PACES cases. Stations one and three You can take the same considerations, and use it to devise a list of clinical conditions that are more likely to come up. It’s super-common for candidates to find out their exam location and date, and immediately try to figure out what cases have come up at that hospital previously. Common questions for MRCP PACES candidates are “does anyone have any experience of XX hospital?” and “what is likely to come up in my MRCP PACES exam?”

We can’t promise that these will come up – but know these conditions inside out and you’ll have taken the most rational approach possible to your preparation and placed the odds on your side. Station fiveMRCP PACES (Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills) is a clinical exam testing clinical knowledge and skills of doctors hoping to begin higher specialist training (ST3). These patients are not coming to your exam. Get real. There is no way an acutely unwell patient who could deteriorate at any time is being brought into your PACES exam to be prodded and poked.
