Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) Exam

For full information, please refer to the RCGP website.

The aim of the CSA is to test a doctor’s ability to gather information and apply learned understanding of disease processes and person-centred care appropriately in a standardised context, make evidence-based decisions, and communicate effectively with patients and colleagues. Being able to integrate these skills effectively is a key element of this assessment.

The RCGP website has all information regarding the CSA including the list of exam dates and a link to the online application for applying for the exam.
