Preparing you for the MRCOG part 3 exam.

The next 2 day weekend course will be face to face at Birmingham Womens Hospital on 13-14th April 2024 to reflect the part 3 exam in May

We are delighted to announce that the MRCOG medal winner from March 2021 attended the ACE MRCOG Part 3 course!!!

“MRCOG Part 3 is very different to parts 1 and 2. The focus is no longer on knowledge. Part 3 aims to assess your applied knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour. The revision for part 3 needs a different approach: you need a coach and not a textbook! In fact, you need multiple coaches, who can teach you how to approach a varied set of part 3 questions. Questions can be based on breaking bad news, dealing with an angry patient, providing complex information, focused fact-finding, prioritisation, clinical governance, data interpretation and more.
We base our teaching material and questions on the actual feedback we get from candidates who have taken the exam. Our course provides expert tuition on how to shine in part 3 exam.

What Happens Before The Course

We begin helping you even before the course starts!

“Exam Preparation Starts Here”

“Assessing your revision progress is not easy. Your blind spots don’t always pop up readily. Yet, you will want to know your weaknesses so that you can target your revision with laser precision.

We can help!

Watch our video on how to assess your progress, download our itemised syllabus checklist, RAG (Red, Amber, Green) rate your knowledge on that checklist, and develop a sound understanding about where you are on the revision roadmap.

Armed with the checklist, refine your revision approach to target the weak areas. Admittedly, the focus of part 3 is not on knowledge; yet, you need to know something about every syllabus item in the checklist so that you can say something sensible in your OSCE station!

Your work with us starts well before you turn up for the weekend course!”
