Frequently Tested, High Yield Stations in MRCOG Part3 Exam

The MRCOG Part 3 exam consists of 14 Clinical Stations that are mapped around the RCOG curriculum. The nature of every station varies, intended to test the clinical acumen of the candidate at different levels. Let’s check on what’s frequently tested and why?

• Application of Clinical Knowledge

You must be well-versed with a high presence of mind to apply evidence-based knowledge to real world scenarios that would be recreated in the exam.

• Communication with Patients and Counselling

Equally important as your clinical knowledge is your ability to communicate with patients and relatives.

• Test of Professionalism and Ethics

The way you handle confidential information, how you pull yourself through situations of ethical dilemmas and safeguarding and the like matters so much in the examination.

• Multidisciplinary Communication

Like communication with patients, communicating with collegues to ensure patient safety is also an important aspect put to test. This might include handover, escalating to a different department or even enlightening your juniors.

• History Taking and Information Gathering

Very importantly, you should have the ability to understand the condition of your patient precisely, especially because that forms the base of your treatment plans. That’s why the history taking and information gathering procedures are scrutinised very much in the exam.

Pro Tip: Understand the Pattern Clearly and Practice Beforehand

Unlike the other two parts that focussed on your knowledge at a deeper level, the Part 3 exam has a very different approach. It is completely clinical practice put into test. Even though you are already going through the exam-tested scenarios in your daily clinical practice, they could bring up some challenges, especially in terms of communication and presentation, because you are in the exam environment and panic is a sure companion. Now, knowing the demand and pattern of the exam will help you tremendously to handle that stress.

One thing you could be doing is to practice the same way as the exam before you get into the real deal. How? Attempt as many MRCOG Part 3 mocks as you can.
