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

"Statistically and speaking from experience, passing the FRCEM primary is one of the hardest post-graduate tasks that there is. The breadth of basic sciences and anatomy that you are expected to know is a formidable task. FRCEM Exam Prep has a large bank of questions that are all specifically designed for FRCEM Primary candidates. Each question provides ample and logical reasoning for the answers. The questions are a perfect aid to test how well your revision is going and give you an indication of whether you will be successful in the exam.   In short, use FRCEM Exam Prep and prepare to pass! " Dr Murtaza Ali, CT1 in Emergency Medicine, London
"I am writing to thank you for the tremendous effort you people put in to develop and mature the FRCEM Intermediate exam resource. When I was taking this exam yesterday, it did feel for a moment that I am taking a mock at home. " Dr. Zohail Hassan, Emergency Medicine Doctor, Republic of Ireland,
" I had no time, working in a busy ER with family responsibilities. I decided to start studying right after booking the exam with a 2 month window. The only choice was going for questions only. Friends advised me to go for the "FRCEM Exam Prep" question bank, I had doubts and wasn't sure, but it was worth every single penny! I made it the first time! The question bank was harder than the real exam and made me feel well prepared. I only used it once and not even completely and passed it at the first attempt. The unique thing about the question bank is the variety, abundance and professionally, well written explanations. The website Admin spared nothing to help me through the preparation without a delay.
