MRCEM osce
The MRCEM OSCE:
- Objectively samples the clinical and communication skills of trainees and ensures that they are those of someone ready for higher training
- Has replaced the old Intermediate SJP exam (NB. a prior pass in the Intermediate SJP will count for eligibility to undertake FRCEM Final examination and will be accepted for progression to ST4)
- A pass in the SJP will have currency for seven years for entry to higher specialty training
- Existing MRCEM OSCE passes achieved between August 2014 and before the end of July 2018 will be valid for FRCEM eligibility and entry to higher training
- From August 2021, all existing MRCEM OSCE passes achieved between August 2014 and July 2021 will be accepted for FRCEM eligibility and entry to higher training (this was approved by the GMC as part of the 2021 curriculum submission)
- Prior unsuccessful attempts at MRCEM OSCE will be counted
- Prior unsuccessful attempts at the SJP will not be counted
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 long and involve ALS, APLS or ATLS style scenarios.

MRCEM Exam Prep is an excellent way to prepare for the MRCEM. It is easy to dip in and out of and it's great that it works on my phone. There is good broad coverage with in-depth feedback after each question.

This website is a fantastic revision tool for the MRCEM Primary examination. I really can't recommend it highly enough to anyone about to sit the exam. The questions are challenging, well written and really represent what you will encounter in the actual exam.

Your question bank and explanations are exceptional and I wish I had done it the first time I took my exam. Unfortunately I only knew about MRCEM success and didn’t know about you guys. Thanking you so much for everything.
