MRCPsych CASC Training
Personalised Online CASC Coaching for Doctors Preparing with Confidence
Preparing for the MRCPsych Clinical Assessment of Skills and Competencies (CASC) requires more than clinical knowledge alone. You need to communicate clearly, structure your consultations effectively, manage time under pressure, demonstrate safe clinical reasoning, and respond confidently to a wide range of patient, carer, colleague, ethical, and management scenarios.
At Medfortune Academy, we provide personalised online CASC training designed around your individual learning needs, examination timeline, and areas for improvement.
Whether you are preparing for your first MRCPsych CASC attempt or planning a resit, our flexible coaching sessions help you build stronger communication skills, improve clinical structure, practise realistic stations, and approach the examination with greater confidence.
Why Choose Medfortune Academy for CASC Training?
Personalised CASC Preparation
Every doctor has different strengths, challenges, clinical experience, and exam timelines. Your preparation begins with an individual discussion to understand your current level, previous experience, areas for improvement, examination timeline, preferred dates, and the station practice you need most. Based on this discussion, our student support team coordinates a personalised CASC training plan with an experienced trainer.
Flexible Online Sessions for Busy Doctors
Our CASC coaching is delivered online, allowing you to train from anywhere in the world. Sessions can be arranged around clinical duties, on-call commitments, family responsibilities, and different time zones.
Practical, Feedback-Led Learning
CASC performance improves through repeated practice, reflection, and detailed feedback. You receive practical guidance on structuring responses, identifying the key task, demonstrating empathy, using patient-centred language, managing difficult consultations, improving time management, and recognising common communication errors.
What Our MRCPsych CASC Training Covers
Your training plan can be tailored to your specific requirements. Depending on your preparation needs, personalised online CASC coaching may include:
Clinical Communication Skills

Psychiatric History Taking
Practise focused histories while maintaining logical structure and identifying clinically important information within a limited timeframe.
Mental State Examination
Develop a clear and systematic approach to assessing, describing, and communicating your findings.
Risk Assessment

Mock CASC Stations with Personalised Feedback

A Training Plan Designed Around You
Unlike a fixed one-size-fits-all CASC course, Medfortune Academy offers flexible training based on your individual preparation stage. Depending on your needs, your plan may include focused sessions for difficult station types, one-to-one coaching, comprehensive preparation, intensive revision close to the exam, mock stations, communication improvement, personalised feedback, and structured support for resit candidates.
