MRCPI Teaching

Beaumont Hospital has a long tradition of supporting MRCPI candidates through each stage of this examination. We provide speciality-by-speciality tutorials for Part 1 MRCPI MCQ’s with our SpR, Consultant and Clinical Lecturer staff providing first hand advice about how to avoid common pitfalls in this exam. Tactical advice that will allow you to strategically manage this exam is provided with detailed discussion of commonly occurring topics being used to illustrate. Consultant input is especially important for the clinical Part III of the exam. We provide the examiners perspective into what examination techniques mark out a well prepared candidate from a weaker one and go through the importance of presentation in the exam setting.

Dr. Peter Branagan and Professor Richard Costello oversee our MRCPI teaching and have many years experience in preparing SHO’s for each stage of the MRCPI examination. 23 out of 24 SHO’s on our rotation successfully gained their MRCPI in the October 2016 examination.
