Author: FY1 Clinical Assessment

An MD with a degree in Master in Public Health, currently working in the NHS as a Manager. Having graduated from my Medical University in Pakistan a while back (with some bumps along the way), it has been an uphill battle to start my Foundation Program journey. But NOT impossible!! In August 2016, I attended the Samson PLAB Academy in London for PLAB 1. I scored 163. In December 2016, I attended Common Stations for PLAB 2, worked part time in between. I scored 136. I cleared my IELTS in April 2017. Obtained my Provisional Registration by August 2017. In November 2017, I attended PLAB Right and Dr Swamy for Clinical Skills Assessment classes. In the CSA exam I passed with a score over 77%. SJT score is 34. Gratefully, I have been allocated to the West Midlands South Deanery. I want to thank all the Academies for their dedication and hard work, without their guidance I would not have gotten to this point.

Facts

The CSA is held annually in October.

It is for those who did not complete their internship or have graduates from medical school >2 years.

The CSA is approximately a 3 hour OSCE exam.

The CSA  consists of 18 stations (2 rest stations + 16 OSCE stations).

Each station is 10 mins long.

The CSA exam is spread out over 3-4 days (depending on volume of candidates).

Thus potentially 108 – 144 doctors sit for the FY1 CSA exam every year.

After passing the CSA exam, the “certification” is valid for 2 years.
