MRCPI Exam Pattern 2024
The MRCPI exam is divided into three sections: the written portion (MRCPI Part 2), the clinical portion (MRCPI Part 2), and the part 1 OSCE.
MRCPI Part 1
Your theoretical knowledge in important areas of the specialization you are taking the exam for is evaluated in the computer-based MRCPI Part 1 exam. Both extended matching questions (EMQs) and multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are included. Taking the Part 2 exam is contingent upon passing this one.
MRCPI Part 2 Written
Clinical knowledge and its application are the main topics of the MRCPI Part 2 Written test. There are two papers in total: Paper 1 and Paper 2. A combination of MCQs, EMQs, and clinical case-based questions are included in each paper. Your diagnostic and case management skills in a variety of specialties — cardiology, pulmonary medicine, infectious diseases, cancer, rheumatology, and others — will be evaluated on the exam.
MRCPI Part 2 Clinical:
The Objective Structured Clinical Exam, or OSCE, is the last component of the MRCPI and assesses candidates’ clinical knowledge and communication skills. It’s a hands-on assessment done in an environment akin to a hospital. Several clinical stations where you converse with standardized patients make up the test. A variety of clinical abilities are evaluated at each station, such as taking a patient’s history, doing a physical examination, using clinical reasoning, communicating, and making ethical decisions.
