MRCP PACES In-Person Course
"I had a positive experience today. It was very helpful running a mock exam scenario to get used to the timings and the pace of the exam with real patients. All of the teachers were really helpful with tips of how to improve in the examination and go through the relevant findings"
“I thought it would be great to do a mock experience before my exam. Every station had an examiner observing all the steps and giving constructive feedback with live corrections. Great opportunity to learn with direct feedback only relevant to me.”
"The format of having a one day practice leading up to my PACES exam has been really useful, just to know what I am lacking and where my weaknesses are, so I can focus on that going forward. I feel a lot more comfortable and confident now, knowing that what I will see in the exam is not so terrifying and that I don't have to panic when I see something I don't know. I am going to recommend this to all my IMT1s."
“It was a lovely experience. We had a 1-to-1 with each instructor, which meant we had live feedback to correct our technique and give us instant feedback. This was very productive compared to other courses I have attended.”
"The course has been very systematic and delivered in a friendly environment. I don't learn well under pressure, so it was great the way it was organised with rest sessions and feedback from the examiners and my peers. I have gained more, received more feedback and now feel confident for my exam."
