PassGP NZ

Preparing for the RNZCGP GPEP examinations requires a comprehensive understanding of New Zealand primary-care guidelines, diagnostic reasoning, culturally safe communication, and longitudinal management across all major general-practice domains. The written and clinical components test real-world GP skills: managing chronic disease, acute presentations, multimorbidity, mental health, child and youth health, women’s health, Māori health, palliative care, triage, and preventive care. Candidates must also demonstrate understanding of ACC requirements, prescribing standards, and shared decision-making aligned with Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles.

PassGP provides NZ-aligned MCQs, structured consultation frameworks, clinical flashcards, case-based reasoning walkthroughs, and examiner-style teaching that mirrors GPEP expectations. The platform focuses on how to interpret ambiguous stems, demonstrate cultural competence, address psychosocial contributors to illness, and respond safely and efficiently during time-pressured exam settings.

Yes. PassGP is used extensively by New Zealand GP registrars, rural trainees, and IMGs entering the GPEP pathway. It helps candidates understand the unique expectations of NZ general practice: bicultural communication, health-literacy principles, management of long-term conditions under the NZ health model, prescribing standards (including PHARMAC-funded therapies), and safe practice in small and rural communities.

PassGP provides case scenarios reflecting real NZ practice patterns - diabetes annual reviews, cardiovascular risk assessment using NZ guidelines, mental-health safety planning, antenatal care, childhood immunisation schedules, and culturally appropriate consultations with Māori and Pacific patients. IMGs particularly benefit from the structured consultation frameworks and explanations of NZ-specific system requirements.

Yes. PassGP includes RNZCGP-style mock written exams, timed MCQ sessions, reasoning stations, case-based diagnostic challenges, communication walkthroughs, and video-based reasoning frameworks. These mocks replicate the complexity, timing, question style, and marking expectations of the real GPEP assessments. Candidates practise managing undifferentiated symptoms, identifying red flags, prioritising care, and applying NZ guidelines to clinical problems.

PassGP provides:
• MCQs and reasoning cases aligned with New Zealand primary-care guidelines and GPEP assessment patterns
• Structured consultation frameworks incorporating cultural safety, Māori health principles, and NZ-specific communication models
• A large case bank covering long-term condition management, acute care, paediatrics, mental health, women’s health, and prescribing standards using PHARMAC guidance
• 500+ encyclopaedia flashcards tailored to NZ general-practice priorities
• GPEP-style mock written exams and timed diagnostic reasoning sessions
• Video masterclasses on New Zealand consultation expectations and high-frequency exam topics
• One-to-one clinical reasoning and communication coaching tailored to NZ practice
• Case-based walkthroughs showing guideline-aligned management of diabetes, CVD risk, asthma, COPD, antenatal care, mental health, and preventative care

These resources ensure NZ registrars and IMGs understand GPEP expectations, consult safely within NZ cultural frameworks, and apply local prescribing and guideline standards. 

Most trainees prepare intensively for 8-12 weeks, depending on prior NZ clinical exposure and familiarity with local guidelines. High-performing candidates combine:
• Daily MCQ practice
• Structured case walkthroughs
• Weekly guideline review (NZGG, Heart Foundation, Paediatric Society, Perinatal mental-health guidance, etc.)
• Cultural-safety reflection
• Consultation-skills rehearsal

PassGP provides weekly pacing plans, curated high-yield topics, 500 encyclopaedia-level flashcards and case frameworks to ensure candidates cover all essential domains before the written and clinical exams.
