Summary

This chapter has two main aims. First, it holds a spotlight to the ongoing discrepancy between observed and expected scores for Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates in this exam – and the actions the RCPsych is taking to address this. Second, it describes the challenges specific to graduates of non-UK medical schools taking the RCPsych CASC, offering them pertinent practical advice. Our hope is that this chapter will empower such candidates, as well as senior clinicians who would like to support them. The information provided here has been gathered from previous international medical graduate (IMG) CASC candidates, CASC tutors, and personal experience.
