“I thought the stations were carried out in a manner very similar to an actual OSCE/clinical exam. The actor/examiner was fantastic and it was a truly immersive experience. Period of questioning and feedback were also much appreciated.“

FAQ’s
Your questions answered
Who is this training for?
We’ve designed this training for all doctors taking the RACP DCE.
How much experience do I need to do this training?
No preparation is needed prior to this training, aside from a knowledge base in keeping with expectations for a typical RACP long case.
How do I book my training?
After purchasing a training session you will be emailed contact details for your trainer. You then arrange a mutually convenient time for the training session to take place and they will share video call details with you.
What should I expect during the training?
Your training session will run something like this:
- 1-minute to read the brief
- 45-minutes to take a long case history
- 5-minutes to ask for examination findings e.g what is your blood pressure and so on
- 10-minutes discussion and feedback as to whether you got all the information
- We suggest after your call is finished you immediately write your presentation under exam conditions
Then:
- Login to your Clinical Skills Pro account
- Compare your presentation to our gold-standard presentation
- Then test your knowledge of the issues raised with our comprehensive MCQs
What scenarios come up?
It’s top secret! Most candidates like to practice as though they’re taking the exam, so you have to handle whatever comes up on the day.
If you really want to know ahead of time (we don’t recommend it) just ask your actor by email before you meet and explain you’d like to prepare.
Do I need any special equipment?
You’ll need enough computer or mobile hardware to make an online call.
A webcam is highly recommended to maximise your experience but is not essential.
What does the training cost?
We charge £80 to cover the costs of your trainer and the behind the scenes organising that ensures you have a great experience.
Does it matter what time zone I'm in?
No – providing you’re happy to be flexible with a morning or evening call we can figure out a mutually convenient time.
Are the scenarios realistic?
Absolutely. Our scenarios are designed to reflect the reality of the dreaded RACP DCE Long Case.
Does anyone watch me doing the training?
It’s just you and your trainer. Completely confidential. No public shaming like we see happen at in-person courses.
