Cases for PACES, 3rd Edition

Product Information

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?” That’s a lot of work. Which is why your fees are so high, even though the examiners are unpaid volunteers. It is completely understandable to try to find out other people’s previous experiences of a specific exam centre, or other exams. Listen on the go to candidates presenting their examination findings, and case critiques provided by examiners Excellent teaching materials, very useful to clear MRCP. Videos of clinical patients are very good and helpful for clearing PACES.

Facebook is full of such questions – you really don’t need to look far on the discussion groups there to find examples of this. 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 And we’ve tallied and aggregated them for you here to provide the ultimate overview of MRCP PACES cases. Stations one and three 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.The MRCP PACES exam consists of a ‘carousel’ containing five clinical stations. Each station is 20 minutes long and there is a 5 minute interval between stations. Two independent examiners oversee each PACES station where there is a patient with a given condition, or a surrogate patient. Now in full colour, it features new case material, updated content on ethics and law, and revised brief clinical consultations that better reflect the current exam. Cases for PACES also includes hints and tips for preparing for the exam, and what to expect on the day.

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. Then we’ll move onto rare conditions that are disproportionately likely to appear in the MRCP PACES exam. Finally, it is important to realise that spending your time trying to find out about people’s experiences of a specific centre is not going to improve your chances of passing the MRCP PACES. 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.Like it?

They come in with a widespread wheeze throughout their chest. But come exam day their chest could easily be completely clear. In this next section I’ll give you examples of common conditions that are very unlikely to come up.
