PACES 2023: New Format Changes
NEW FORMAT
What are being introduced?
Communication
Two 10-minute communication encounters. These will no longer include a question-and-answer section with the examiners. Instead, the encounter will be judged on observation alone.
Consultations
Two 20-minute clinical consultations will assess candidates across all seven skills in a realistic and integrated manner:
1) 15 minutes: Take a structured history, examine the patient, explain the likely diagnosis and management and address any questions or concerns raised
2) 5 minutes: Question-and-answer section with the examiners
Encounter sequencing across the carousel
The new carousel will alter the sequencing of the encounters through the carousel. Some stations will include a physical examination and communication encounters. This will ensure that examiners at each station contribute more judgements in each of the skills for each candidate, improving the reliability of the exam.
