  • Summary

    This chapter aims to provide a brief overview of the Clinical Assessment of Skills and Competencies (CASC) examination whilst also offering aspiring candidates practical tips and advice collated from psychiatry trainees who have recently sat the examination. This firsthand information is intended to answer common queries candidates have about the CASC and will be provided in a question-and-answer format. The information contained in this chapter has been cross-referenced with advice from the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) website and is up to date at the time of publication. However, we recommend that candidates review the RCPsych website periodically in order to keep abreast of any future changes.

  • Written by graduates of the internationally renowned Maudsley Training Programme, who have all recently sat the CASC examination, this book provides clear, practical guidance to passing the Royal College of Psychiatrists' CASC. Divided according to psychiatric subspecialties, each chapter includes practice clinical scenarios. These clinical scenarios are broken down into candidate instructions, actor instructions and constructive candidate feedback. This enables candidates to practice not only with their clinical peers, but with friends and family as well. An additional chapter is dedicated to practical information about the exam and tips for the day to further equip readers in what to expect, and reduce anxieties about the exam itself. Another chapter is specifically devoted to addressing the needs of international and BAME medical graduates. Relevant and reliable throughout, this is a must-have resource for psychiatric trainees looking to improve their clinical skills and gain their MRCPsych qualification.
