About the program
A focused preparation program designed for basic physician trainees sitting the RACP clinical exam.
The program covers:
- key subspecialty topics that are relevant to the clinical exam
- common mistakes in the long case and short case
- practical advice on exam preparation.
The course is an adjunct to other clinical exam preparation, for example hospital based long case and short case preparation. It doesn’t include live long or short case presentations.
In 2026 the course content will be delivered over a series of evenings and a weekend.
