About MRCP PACES
It is the last step you need to clear to achieve the ‘MRCP’ postnominal. The exam consists of five clinical stations arranged in a carousel format. Each station lasts 20 minutes and will be assessed by two examiners. There will be both real and simulated patients. You can start at any of the stations and move to the next station every 20 minutes until they have completed the cycle. A short 5-minute break is also provided between each station.
