Hope u r doing well. Thanx for all the good videos u post . Can u help me out with a good face to face paces course in UK which will be fruitful to attend after this omicron jump is down and system stabilises.
Hi Sutapa
There are many good courses in the UK. The one I did was passPACES.
Informative video! I have one year of internship experience in my home country followed by one year of MSc experience in the UK. I cleared entrance to my fellowship training in internal medicine but I haven’t started my training yet, as I work in the health sector via public service Commission which requires me to work at primary care settings for the initial two years (I still have another year of peripheral posting left to start my fellowship training).
I completed my MRCP part 1 right after internship and part 2 written during a full time MSc..
I'm currently taking preps for paces and I'd like to know what would be an ideal amount of timeframe to fully prepare for the paces exam?
Hi Riva
It should take you 4 - 6 months to be fully prepared depending on how much time and dedication you are able to put into the preparation.
Hi mam! Can you please give a list of courses available in India? And which one do u recommend?
Hi Arju
Not many courses are running face to face in India at the moment because of COVID. I would recommend just wait for a few days for the situation to settle down. These courses are expensive , enrol only for the best.
You are very pretty and smart. Thanks for the videos
Very useful video.
How is it defferent to do course in UK , compared to India ?
Can you please make video on how clinical methods are different in UK compared to India?
Thanks you
Hi Javal
I would definitely make a video on this topic.
@@AceurMRCP I have the same question as well. Have you posted a video on this?
Hi 🙂... Would you please make videos regarding Station 2, 4 & 5...
TIA 🙏 🙂
Hi Sharmeen
Many thanks for watching. I am making more videos on PACES . Please keep watching this space.
Kindly do the comparison video..
Thanks for watching.
@@AceurMRCP plz make comparisons video
A video on paces courses in India please
Many thanks for watching. Please share with your peers.
Hello doctor , is there an on-line version of MRCP1 and MRCP2 examinations in the middle east ? And can you in brief tell me about the requirements , preparation and stages of PACES exam as a foreigner ?
Hi Saeqa
Presently the online versions are restricted to UK candidates mainly. For preparation for PACES please watch my video 'How to prepare for PACES"
@@AceurMRCP but it seems like the MRCP 1 and 2 are now available through Pearson vue centres as it’s the case for MRCS and other royal college exams
Please tell the difference of paces course in UK and India
That shall be greatful Dr Roy
Hi Hanish
I am making a vidoe on PACES course in India vs UK. I will upload soon.
Thank you Mam for such nice step by step guidance on MRCP UK.
Mam I have one query,recently I have passed MRCP UK Part 2 written.Now would be appearing for DM in Cardiology.I have MD Respiratory Medicine exam also in front.Now with MBBS MD(Respiratory Medicine) MRCP UK and DM Cardiology,how my career prospectus would be-for both International and Indian level?
Also can you throw some light if SCE Acute Medicine examination and it's future?
Hi Indraneel
In the UK, it is important that you show loyalty towards a specialty. For example, if you have done MD in respiratory medicine, the job interview panel would request for a clarification as to why did you go on to do DM cardiology. You may very well say I changed my mind because I have now developed an interest in Cardiology but this may come across as a lack of commitment to the specialty. DM cardiology with MRCP may well get you a specialist doctor or Locum consultant post depending on which part of the UK you would be working in.
SCE in acute medicine again would be diversion towards acute medicine away from cardio or respiratory and best avoided in your scheme of plans.
All the best
Aparajita
Thank you Mam for your response.Mam instead doing SCE in Acute Medicine,if I go for SCE in Cardiology along with DM Cardiology and MRCP UK,it would be better right?One more query is how is Cardiology as a speciality in UK?Job offers,etc?
Any difference between UK and international centers for PACES? Which one to prefer?
Hi Khalid
This is a very good question and I am already preparing a video on it. Please keep watching this channel.
Do we need 2 years of experience other then 1 year of internship for PACES?? Is it an eligibility criteria or is it for gaining experience so that PACES could be easier ?? Please clarify because I got too anxious after you told about the 2 years of time gap for taking PACES... TIA
Hi Pradeep
2 years of clinical experience is desirable , not compulsory. Internship counts as one year so technically you need one more year.

Please do video on paces course in India vs uk
Hi Nithu
I will definitely do a video on this.Thanks.
Hi mam what is the difference if we give paces in India or UK. will there be any problem to apply for practicing in UK if give paces in INDIA
PACES exam is standardized all over the world. Where you do your exams from has no effect on you final degree so no problem in working in UK at all if you do the exam in India.
Hi mam thank you for the video can u suggest any books for mrcp paces
Hi Sudheer
I have a video on PACES preparation where I have outlined key strategies along with resources. You will find all the details in the PACES playlist.
Hello, can u please guide where in India can I have a paces score, I mean to appear for Paces in India only.
Hi Swati
There are several PACES centre in India like Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata etc.
Hi ma'am.
I have completed MD General Medicine from India. At this point what are my options post pg if i want to go to the uk ? Isn't doing an mrcp redundant at this point ?
Hi Reshmi

I will upload a video on superspeciality training in India soon. Please keep watching this space.
Mam,I am searching for a face to face paces course in uk.I am very confused,which one to choose?
I did Pass PACES and found it very good.
didi ami ebar dnb med pachhi, should i go with dnb med and mrcp? amader wb e j discrimination about MD/ DNB te ache setay benifit hbe doing dnb plus mrcp vs md
Hi Arya
MRCP as a degree is very different from MD or DNB . Please remember, MRCP is a degree whereas MD and DMB are postgraduate training courses ,much like IMT in the UK.
MRCP is definitely a coveted degree worldwide and will definitely make you a better doctor. So definitely go for MRCP irrespective of MD or DNB.
As far as I am aware, West Bengal board considers MD and SNB to be equivalent.
All the best.
@@AceurMRCP tysm didi for this valuable info!! Happy puja btw🙏
@@AceurMRCP Aww !!! Dr Roy is a Bengali. Glad to know 😇
Hello doc, can MRCP be pursued after mbbs ? If someone doesn’t get a MD/ DNB Medicine seat in neet, can I pursue MRCP ? What are the prerequisites? Thank you doc.
Hi Bhavya
The only prerequisite for MRCP part1 is a 12 month internship. For PACES you need to have 2 years clinical experience in medicine. You don't need MD or DNB.
@@AceurMRCP is it mandatory to have 2 years clinical experience to be eligible to do PACES..or is clinical experience just recommended for passing PACES
Hello dr aparajita.
I am a final year MD medicine resident in delhi.
Regarding paces , 1) is there any good course in delhi to go for?
2) if I clear MRCP then will I be eligible to take up superspecialty in UK and if yes then how and where to apply for?
3) If I opt for doing DM in India and then move to UK for fellowships, what position will I be eligible for ?
Sidharth
They is only one course in Delhi , but if you can travel to Kochi or Chennai, you will have more options.
You can definitely apply for super speciality in the UK after MRCP as long as you achieve the competencies at par with the UK trainees. MRCP is only one such criteria.
Same with DM .. you competencies would have to be at par with the UK post CCT candidates.
@@AceurMRCP
Thank you
How will they assess competencies given that we will apply for superspecialty there?
Which is standard physical examination book followed in UK Med school?
Oxford handbook for clinical medicine is the popular book; for the purpose of PACES , pastest videos are more than enough for standard examination technique.
There are many medical schools in the UK. The leading manual in this field used to be Hutchison's Clinical Methods (1st ed 1897). Edinburgh favours Macleod's Clinical Examination 1st ed 1964): John Macleod also edited Davidson's textbook of medicine. From Bristol we have Naish and Read's The Clinical Apprentice.
Don't forget Pappworth's Primer of Medicine: despite his being a combative outsider, at one time the majority of London FRCPs had obtained their MRCP after his course. He also wrote an amusing paperback on Passing Medical Examinations.
Thanks
Can u suggest good courses in India? And when can we get the paces seat after passing part 2 ?
Hi Ravish
There are many courses available in India but because of COVID not many of them are running face to face.
For the same reason, there might be a longer wait between part 2 and PACES. Keep your preparation on point so that you are ready as soon as a slot becomes available.
@@AceurMRCP Thanks 😊
Hello madam
I am an MD Medicine doctor from India. I am now preparing for MRCP. After clearing all 3steps of MRCP, wat is the post that I am eligible for, to work in UK ? I didnt understand wat a GP and Registrar posts were. Should I have to work as GP or Registrar after clearing MRCP or can apply for ST directly madam ??
Hi Hari
A GP is a community based post where as a registrar would be very much like a senior resident post in India. Since you have already done MD medicine, if you clear MRCP, you would be eligible for Registrar posts in the UK. Alternatively , you can apply for MTI posts.
Check out my video on MTI to get a better idea on MTI pathway of application.
To be eligible for ST training you have to complete MRCP.
@@AceurMRCP Thank you madam,👍
Hello dr aparajitha can you please guide which mrcp paces course we can take in India
Hi Shilpa
I would strongly recommend a course where the instructor :candidate ratio is not more than 1:7/8. I have trained under Dr Shuja Punekar in the UK who is an excellent teacher. I would strongly recommend his course in India if you get a chance to do it.
@@AceurMRCP will dr shuja punekar be taking courses in India too can you please let me know and help me in getting through a good course in India I have exam in July
I think there are some upcoming courses. Email me your phone number, I will get you added to his whatsapp group.
can u pls suggest the best face to face phaces course in UK..I came along passPaces and Paces ahead..which on would you prefer?
Hi Pamoda
Both are equally good and have been running for many years now. You can choose either depending on availability as they are often fully booked.
@@AceurMRCP Thank you very much
I m an MD(General Medicine) from India.
Please guide me the pathways required for specialist training in UK.
Hello Dr Parida
Many thanks for watching. Have you completed any parts of MRCP? The quickest way would be joining the UK NHS through MTI, complete MRCP acquire the core competencies and then apply for specialist training.
@@AceurMRCPIs there any route for MTI or MRCP is a must for it ?If MRCP .....All the parts of MRCP or MRCP I and II without PACES will be sufficient
For MTI you don't need MRCP as you have completed MD Medicine. For more information please watch my video on MTI.
@@AceurMRCP Thank You..
What are the tactics u learnt in?
I am making a video on UK vs India PACES course where I discuss them in details. Please keep watching this space.
WhAt are the paces courses in Chennai?
Hi Zakir
These days many face to face courses are withheld because of COVID. I would suggest search for face to face courses that are up and running closer to your exam date. All the best.
Tell us name of pace course you undertook.
I did two courses, one in Kochi and one in the UK.
IS THESE PACES COURSES NECESSARY, FOR A DOCTOR WHO HA S WORKED IN NHS UNDER MTI PROGRAMME ?
Hi Hitesh
PACES courses are absolutely a personal choice. If a candidate feels confident in their preparation, they may not need a course.Many NHS hospitals have their own inhouse free courses which are very helpful for practice and feedback.
DEAR DR , COULD YOU PLEAS.0E GIVE ME PACES COURSES IN INDIA ??
