“I used your SCA cases as a major part of my preparation for the SCA which I sat in April. I am beyond thrilled to not only have passed first time but passed with a score of 112 / 126!!! Thank you for all your hard work and effort you put into medical education - I have used your resources from sitting AKT" Dr S W - Passed SCA

“I appeared in Feb exam. Alhamdulillah passed in first attempt. I found your full day course very use and informative. The individual feedback after each case really helped.

I appreciate the hard working team of Emedica for their time and efforts.” Dr A C - Passed SCA

“Thanks Emedica for the amazing course of SCA. I most appreciated the one to one mocks with Alistar, also the 100 cases and the Emedica cases were so useful and close to the exam. I have passed my SCA first attempt and I’m IMG, really thank you.” Dr L I - Passed SCA

I have passed the SCA exam in first trial last February. I feel the SCA scenarios in Emedica were very useful as well as the one to one coaching.

Breaking cases down into 3 different domains and what is required in each. Thank you so much, really useful!!!" SCA Course Attendee - Observer

"Excellent – liked the interactive nature and the constructive feedback. I used Emedica for my AKT revision.

SCA Course Attendee - Participant

“I took the November SCA and passed first attempt! Thank you for your resources! Loved using your SCA bank as it helps me organise my data gathering, and my management was made more robust and holistic. Dr F A - Passed SCA

“I’m delighted to report I passed first time scoring 86.5 out of 126… So glad I did the course and the 1 to 1 with Alastair. I don’t think I would have passed otherwise…A massive thank you to Alastair for boosting my confidence and focussing on red flags/history which was my weakest area at the time. I used Emedica for both AKT and SCA and passed first time each. Money well spent.” Dr S S - Passed SCA

I took your day long SCA preparation course at the end of August and I felt it set me up really well for my revision/practice over the next few months. The access to your 69 scenarios provided great practice opportunities and the 100 case crammer was a really helpful but focused knowledge revision tool. Thanks again!" Dr M B - Passed SCA
