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.

Reasonable adjustments
The Reasonable Adjustments for Trainees form (DOC) 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 they have been made by and who they will require approval from.
