Why communication skills matter
PACES doesn't just test what you find on examination - it tests whether you can take a history, explain a diagnosis, and manage a patient's concerns under time pressure. Those are skills you can only build through deliberate practice, not by reading about them.
How a station works
Read, then speak
Read the candidate brief, then talk to the simulated patient with your microphone - just like a real encounter.
Examine and manage
State what you'd like to examine and get findings back in character, then discuss your plan with the patient.
Face the examiner
On Consultation Stations, an AI examiner questions your reasoning - then you get a structured feedback report.
Two station formats
Communication Station
10 minutesA focused conversation - breaking bad news, consent, confidentiality, and other communication-skills scenarios.
Consultation Station
20 minutes15 minutes of history, examination and management with the patient, followed by 5 minutes of examiner questions about your reasoning.
