Summary
Changes to the Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (MRCPsych) examination and the current COVID-19 pandemic require adaptation of existing teaching and training for core psychiatry trainees. With the General Medical Council (GMC) also limiting the number of times that a candidate can attempt the MRCPsych examination, there is growing pressure to ensure that course organizers are maximizing trainees’ potential to pass. Using our experiences of running MRCPsych courses in Birmingham and Keele we discuss how courses can be developed to best prepare trainees for the MRCPsych written papers and the Clinical Assessment of Skills and Competencies (CASC).
