What MRCOG AI has for MRCOG Part 3
New MRCOG Part 3 packages are not on sale at the moment. Anyone who already holds MRCOG Part 3 access keeps it. Join the waitlist below and we will email you when packages are available again. Part 1 and Part 2 are fully available today.
Timed OSCE task practice
Timed role-play across patient, colleague and structured-discussion tasks. The task bank is small and still growing.
Marking-domain feedback
Feedback grouped by marking domain, so you can see whether information gathering, applied clinical knowledge, patient safety or communication cost you the marks.
Timed to the real task length
Each task runs for 12 minutes, the first 2 of them reading time, matching the RCOG format for all 14 tasks in the circuit.
Consultant-mode AI roleplay
Practise difficult conversations against an AI that pushes back realistically: breaking bad news, consent, conflict with colleagues.
Red-flag emergency drills
PPH, eclampsia, shoulder dystocia, maternal collapse. Get your escalation script down cold before the real circuit.
AoT + booking reminders
The Assessment-of-Training deadline is the hidden trap. We email you ahead of every milestone so you never miss the booking window.
What the exam covers
The kinds of task the RCOG sets in the OSCE circuit. Each task is marked against three or four of the five marking domains.
- Patient-facing tasks (communication, empathy, shared decision making)
- Colleague-facing tasks (handover, teaching, leadership)
- Structured discussions on ethics and professionalism
- Clinical reasoning across O&G emergencies and chronic care
