We provide two examinations at RCPCH: the Membership examination (MRCPCH) and the Diploma in Child Health (DCH).
As the Clinical Assessments team, we support the delivery of the clinical components of these exams: the MRCPCH Clinical and the DCH Clinical. We support clinical lead input into the development of clinical exam scenarios, clinical examiner recruitment and training and clerical support to exam-related committees, panels and working groups.
We work closely with the Theory & Standards team, which supports the delivery of the theory components of our exams: Foundation of Practice (FOP), Theory & Science (TAS) and Applied Knowledge in Paediatrics (AKP).
