Small Groups & Clinical Podcasts

The Clinical Room now includes more than 30 examiner-led podcasts, with new episodes added as the teaching program grows. Bite-sized discussions cover every aspect of written, clinical and oral examination performance, including question interpretation, clinical reasoning, answer structure, consultation technique, prioritisation and safe decision-making.

The library is built from live teaching: former examiners and experienced educators work through real examination problems, explaining what the task asks, how to structure a response and where candidates commonly lose marks. Episodes are available on demand with summary notes through your PassGP resources, so you can revisit the particular aspect of performance you are practising.

The library supports doctors preparing for RACGP AKT, KFP and CCE; ACRRM MCQ and StAMPS; AMC MCQ and Clinical; PESCI; RANZCOG; RACP; ICFRACGP; and NZ GP pathways. The focus is on transferable examination skills and structured frameworks, with episodes addressing the format and reasoning each assessment requires.

Choose an episode by the skill, topic or examination format you want to strengthen. The teaching ranges from spotting pivot words and qualifiers to developing differentials, investigations and management, and then making your reasoning visible in a structured response. Pause to form your own answer, compare its structure and rehearse the framework aloud.

Episodes are designed as focused, bite-sized learning. Choose the exact skill or clinical problem you need, listen around work and family commitments, then return to your question bank or case practice with a clear framework to apply.

Use the episode as active practice rather than only listening through: pause, form your own answer, compare the structure and rehearse the framework aloud. On-demand access and accompanying summary notes let you revisit the relevant teaching as you work on that skill or examination format.

The podcast library grows from PassGP’s live examiner-led small groups. Listen to the framework on demand, then book a live session to contribute your reasoning, practise realistic cases and receive immediate correction. The two formats work together as preparation, rehearsal and feedback.

Start with an episode matched to the skill, topic or examination format you want to strengthen, then pause to form your own answer and rehearse the framework aloud. A live group gives you a place to test that approach with real-time examiner guidance, while the on-demand library and summary notes remain resources for revisiting the teaching.

Existing PassGP members can open their enrolled resources and enter the Clinical Room library. Podcast access is included according to the relevant package. Choose an episode by examination skill, topic or preparation priority and continue from any supported device.

Open the live schedule, choose a relevant topic and reserve an available session. Check the small-group allowance included in your package. Sessions are deliberately interactive, so arrive ready to discuss your approach, practise the framework and learn from real-time examiner guidance.

Yes. Podcasts provide flexible, repeatable teaching; small groups add live discussion and shared case practice; bespoke 1:1 sessions focus entirely on your performance, examination goals and feedback needs. Use the level of support that best fits your next stage of preparation.

A practical sequence is to choose an episode for a particular skill, form your own answer and rehearse the framework aloud, then test that approach in the live room. The page’s 1:1 teaching option offers ideal-structure teaching or feedback targeted to the gaps holding you back, alongside the on-demand library and live group discussion.
