PACES MRCP UK - Where MRCPians Meet Since 2006

MRCP is well establised as an entry exam for advanced specialist training in many countries including Malaysia. It consists of 3 paper i.e. Part1, Part2(written tests) and PACES. PACES in full means Practical Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills. It is the third part and the candidate is assessed by fellows of RCP. I passed my PACES in 2005. I am glad that many seniors had guided me throughout my preparation for PACES and I wish to share my experiences with PACES candidates via this blog.

"Sing a song"

A PACES candidate must be a good singer. Afterall, it is a show about the skill to be a physician who is thorough and complete in examining patients. So, we need to sing after each examination.
1. Respiratory: I would like to complete my examination by checking the temp chart for any fever, sputum cup and perform a bedside PEFR.
2. Cardiovascular: I would like to complete my examination by checking the blood pressure, temp chart, fundoscopy for Roth spots, abdomen for splenomegaly and urinalysis for RBC & proteinuria.

This applied to other systems as well. So, what is your favourite song?
