Dean's Quarterly Update
July 2025
Dear member,
I’m delighted to bring you the Summer 2025 edition of the Dean’s Quarterly eNewsletter.
It contains important updates about national recruitment and our position on Physician Assistants (formerly known as Physician Associates).
There’s exciting news for Core Resident Doctors, with the launch of MRCPsych eLearning, and a round-up of everything that’s new or been updated on CPD eLearning – including our new podcast series, Big Questions in Psychiatry.
And you can read about what happened at our amazing International Congress event in Wales last month, as well as some information about next year’s event.
Do get in touch and ask a question via Question Time with the Officers if you have any ideas or views on what we can do even better, we’d love to hear from you.
With best wishes,
Professor Subodh Dave
Dean, RCPsych
