Written by graduates of the internationally renowned Maudsley Training Programme, who have all recently sat the CASC examination, this book provides clear, practical guidance to passing the Royal College of Psychiatrists' CASC.

An additional chapter is dedicated to practical information about the exam and tips for the day to further equip readers in what to expect, and reduce anxieties about the exam itself. Another chapter is specifically devoted to addressing the needs of international and BAME medical graduates. Relevant and reliable throughout, this is a must-have resource for psychiatric trainees looking to improve their clinical skills and gain their MRCPsych qualification.

"Love it, hate it, or tolerate it - the CASC exam has now been the definitive final test set by the Royal College of Psychiatrists for trainee psychiatrists for more than a decade. On the other side of this final hurdle, the tantalising prize of full MRCPsych membership awaits. The CASC's adapted OSCE format is designed to complement the MRCPsych 'written' exams by testing real clinical skills in plausible simulated scenarios, in a holistic manner. Fancy post-nominal letters and graduation ceremonies aside, passing such an exam should also allow you a moment to pause in genuine satisfaction and joy. The gaining of full RCPsych membership is an important milestone, marking successful progress in psychiatric training. It recognises formally the culmination of years of development of the worthy skills that ultimately support people with mental illness to experience better lives. Yet this obvious opportunity for the joy of success should not obscure from you the sneakier opportunity for a joyful preparation!"--
