MRCEM OSCE

The College continues to offer Membership by Examination (MRCEM) for candidates who have passed all of the following examinations:

  • FRCEM Primary (or MRCEM Part A between 1 August 2012 and 1 August 2016)
  • FRCEM Intermediate SAQ (or MRCEM Part B between 1 August 2012 and 1 August 2016)
  • MRCEM OSCE (previously called Part C. Passed after 1 August 2012)

The MRCEM OSCE is designed to test both the theoretical knowledge and clinical skills of emergency medicine doctors. The OSCE stations test a wide variety of skills including history taking, physical examination, communication skills and the ability to perform practical procedures.

The MRCEM OSCE usually consists of a circuit of 18 stations, each of which is 7 minutes long. There are usually two ‘double stations’, which are 14 minutes longs and involve ALS, APLS or ATLS style scenarios.

What Doctors Are Saying

" The MRCEM part A is without doubt one of the most difficult exams I have ever sat. This being said there is no reason why you can't pass it and first time! The extensive question bank offered by MRCEM Exam Prep is by far the best representation of the real thing and the detailed explanations given make revising easier and more directed. I can't recommend this website enough. 'Thank you MRCEM Exam Prep!' " Dr Victoria Jones, CT3 in Emergency Medicine, London, UK
" I found FRCEM Exam Prep very helpful when preparing for the primary examination. In my opinion this is the best online revision site available for this difficult exam. Thank you for providing this invaluable resource! " Dr Nebras Yahya, A&E Middle Grade, Surrey
"I have been using your site for the past 6-8 months preparing for my FRCEM Primary. As always your reply service is amazing!! The site is really well detailed and gives loads of insight as to what needs to be known for the exam. I like the structure, especially the recent design where you can choose which sub-topic you want to revise. " Dr Mikhail Baldacchino, Emergency Medicine ST1, England
