C and J Clinical

London

"C&J Clinical will be holding a course for the new MRCPsych examination which will start in Spring 2008. The basic tenets of the C&J course will be retained. Consequently, the C&J course will first teach the techniques required to pass different OSCE stations before going on to practice these stations. As far as we are aware this approach is not currently employed by any OSCE course and we look forward to our Spring 2008 course being as valued and successful as the current course. "
