Medipaces was established in 2000 as the first and original MRCP clinical course at St George’s Hospital in London, which is a Royal College examination centre. Over the years we have helped scores of candidates successfully negotiate the clinical PACES examination with an unrivalled pass rate. The candidates are taught in small groups of 5 to 6 with continuous feedback. The course is consultant led, taught by an outstanding team of experienced lecturers and focuses on examination technique, case presentation and communication skills.
The course has been continually updated in accordance with the changing format of the PACES examination and all candidates get ample opportunity to individually undertake examination of a large number of clinical cases and present their clinical findings, practice history taking and work on communication skills and ethics. At the end of the course candidates receive our exclusive history taking & ethics handbook.
Our courses take place over a weekend and start at 8.45am on Saturday (registration) and 9.30am on Sunday and end at 5pm on both days.
Medipaces is organised by Dr Sam Firoozi, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at St George’s Hospital in London & Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey. He has a long track record in medical education and has co-authored MRCP teaching material including books and MRCP related websites. He is also actively involved in the organisation and assessment of higher specialist training in Cardiology including RITA and ARCP assessment of trainees in the London and South East regions.
