Students will be given the opportunity to act as expert patients for the Objective Structured Practical Examinations (OSPEs). Roles will vary and the aim is to provide realistic portrayal of scenarios. The Fellowship in Immediate Medical Care (FIMC) examinations will consist of more complex scenarios and require students within the clinical years of their degree programme.
If you are selected to help support the exam diet, you must honour this commitment. Please ensure you have authorisation from your university to attend the examinations before committing. In order to assist you with organising time off with your university, the faculty are happy to provide a letter of support.
CPD Event
A CPD Event will be run during the exam diet as a thank you for your participation. The topic will be chosen by the students and Examination Convenor to ensure it is as relevant and informative as possible.
If you would like to get involved, please email: fphc-studentsupporters@rcsed.ac.uk
Hello! My name is Alasdair and I am delighted to be taking on the role of Junior Examinations Officer with the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care.
I am currently a foundation doctor working in NHS Tayside and my interests are in Anaesthetics, Pre-Hospital Care, and Medical Training. I have been a student supporter on the IMC examinations throughout my time at medical school, and I have found this to be hugely rewarding.
I am very much looking forward to welcoming new and returning student supporters to the examination diets over the coming years, helping them reap the benefits of this fantastic opportunity.
Alasdair Smith
FPHC Junior Examinations Officer
Please note:
Being a Supporter on any of the FPHC examinations (currently DIMC, FIMC, DRTM, DUMC, DMIM) prevents you from sitting the same examination for a minimum period of 3 years from your last involvement. We welcome students from paramedic, nursing and medical backgrounds. We can only accept Doctor volunteers up to the level of Foundation Year 2.
Due to essential systems maintenance and upgrades there will be intermittent interruptions to some on-line services on Saturday 27th of February. There will be further interruption to some core services on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd of March.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
