About this session
Preparing for the RACGP Clinical Competency Exam (CCE) can be challenging. Many candidates have invested significant time studying but remain unsure whether their exam performance reflects their knowledge. Often, it isn’t a lack of clinical knowledge that impacts results, but how effectively candidates demonstrate clinical reasoning, communication, and decision-making under exam conditions.
Â
This one-on-one coaching session is designed to bridge that gap.
Â
Working individually with an experienced medical educator, you’ll have the opportunity to experience realistic CCE-style cases, receive personalised feedback, and gain insight into how your performance may be interpreted by exam assessors. The session helps you understand not only what you’re doing well, but where you can make targeted improvements before exam day.
Â
Through guided feedback and practical coaching, you’ll build confidence, refine your consultation approach, and develop strategies to demonstrate your capabilities more effectively in the exam environment.
