MRCPsych eLearning

MRCPsych eLearning provides online learning resources to support resident doctors preparing for the MRCPsych examinations.

Our Paper A resources are specifically designed to support revision with module topics drawn from the basic science subject areas of the exam syllabus. Paper A modules are FREE to access for all College members – just log in with your College details (not OpenAthens) to access the modules.

Many of our CPD eLearning resources are relevant to the clinical components of the Paper B syllabus, and these have been identified and mapped accordingly. Although these are not specifically designed for Paper B revision in the way that Paper A modules are, these may be helpful to candidates preparing for this paper.

We have also compiled Other useful resources relevant to your revision for the MRCPsych exams and beyond.

For more information, please visit MRCPsych eLearning or contact the team at elearning@rcpsych.ac.uk.

Reasonable adjustments

The Reasonable Adjustments for Resident Doctors form may be used as a template to guide discussion between a trainee and their clinical supervisor, with support from the TPD. The form provides some examples of reasonable adjustments and distinguishes between recommendations based on who made them and who will require approval.

Helping Neurodivergent Doctors Thrive: An Inclusion and Support Framework

Helping Neurodivergent Doctors Thrive: An Inclusion and Support Framework has been developed to provide practical guidance for neurodivergent Psychiatrists in training and those responsible for their education. We acknowledge that neurodiversity in training is an area often surrounded by myths and misunderstandings, which can create barriers for both resident doctors and supervisors. This resource seeks to address those challenges through clarity, evidence-based recommendations, and practical tools that support real-world application.
