Clinical Assessment Crash Course

The Clinical Assessment Crash Course is an online training programme designed to equip recently qualified doctors with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the national Clinical Assessment examination. From the comfort of their own homes, participants from all locations can access our six-day series of interactive webinars, held over one week during the run-up to the national exam dates.

Each session will involve targeted teaching and live Q&A on important topics matching key areas on the Clinical Assessment exam syllabus, together with focused training on exam techniques and generic skills relevant to the health system and medical practice in the UK. Those subscribing to the full Crash Course package will also gain access to an online collection of additional study materials, revision aides and links to useful instructional videos.

Medics qualifying more than two years before the start of the UK Foundation Programme (FP) to which they are applying must pass the Clinical Assessment exam in order to progress to the FP training. For overseas graduates in particular, the clinical assessment forms a key part of the FP application process and is often the deciding factor in whether or not they are able to take up a foundation post.

Applicants required to attend will sit a 16-station OSCE undertaken by the University Hospital of South Manchester, determining their suitability for progression to the Foundation Programme training. The ten minute stations, many of which require dealing with both real and simulated patients, test whether or not the candidate possesses the knowledge and clinical skills of a practicing F1 doctor. In evaluating whether FP aspirants meet GMC standards, the OSCE assesses a selection of key areas covered by our comprehensive and carefully designed Crash Course.
