Obstetrics & Gynaecology (MRCOG Part 3 OSCE)
Walk into your MRCOG OSCE having already done it — dozens of times
Practise the real MRCOG stations out loud against a simulated patient who responds realistically, any time of day. Get instant, examiner-style feedback after every encounter — no study partner, no booking, no waiting.
What is the MRCOG OSCE, and how do you practise for it?
The MRCOG OSCE is a spoken clinical exam that assesses how you take histories, explain information, and handle patients and colleagues under timed conditions. The most effective way to prepare is to rehearse the real stations out loud — with MedMock you practise them against a realistic AI patient any time of day and get instant, examiner-style feedback after every one.

⏳ Count down to the next MRCOG sittingYou can know the medicine and still freeze in the room
The MRCOG does not test what you know — it tests what you can do with a real person sitting across from you, under time pressure. You can read every guideline and still mishandle the opening line, miss the patient's cue, or run out of time.
There is only one way to address this: practise out loud, repeatedly. The difficulty is finding someone to practise with. Study partners cancel, seniors are busy, and courses cost hundreds of pounds and book out months ahead — so most candidates arrive under-rehearsed and rely on adrenaline on the day.
MRCOG OSCE practice, on demand
Evaluates patient safety, applied clinical knowledge, information gathering, and communication with patients, families and colleagues across the full O&G curriculum. Stations sample the 14 RCOG Part 3 CiPs and run as 2-min reading + actor-led encounter or examiner-led structured discussion.
MedMock gives you a simulated patient who responds realistically, available 24/7. Pick a station, have a genuine spoken conversation, and get instant, examiner-style feedback the moment you finish — scored against what genuinely matters in the MRCOG. No rota conflicts, no study partner, no waiting your turn. Simply practise whenever you have ten minutes.
How it works
Choose a station
Pick from the real MRCOG stations — all 6 of them, or let MedMock surprise you the way exam day will.
Have the conversation
Speak naturally, out loud. The AI patient responds in real time — with emotions, cues and unexpected turns, just like a real encounter.
Get instant feedback
The moment you finish, you get specific, examiner-style feedback and a score — what you did well, what cost you marks, and precisely what to fix before the next attempt.
Why candidates practise with MedMock
Practise out loud, any time
No study partner, no booking, no rota clash. Open MedMock at 6am or midnight and run a full station in minutes.
All 6 stations, endless variations
You will never simply memorise answers. Each run is different, so you build the real skill — adapting in the moment.
Examiner-level feedback in seconds
Know exactly where you lost marks and how to address it, instead of guessing why a mock session went poorly.
Turn nerves into muscle memory
By the time you sit the MRCOG, the format feels familiar — because you have already done it dozens of times.
A fraction of the cost of courses
Avoid the hundreds of pounds you would spend on a one-off exam course, and practise unlimited scenarios instead.
Practise anywhere, from your phone
On a break, during the commute, between jobs on the ward — your preparation goes wherever you do.
Practise every station
MedMock covers the stations you will face in the MRCOG OSCE. Rehearse each one until it feels routine.
Information Giving
Simulated patient task: counsel a patient on a diagnosis, investigation result or treatment option (e.g. PCOS, HMB, heavily dyskaryotic smear, contraception choice).
Breaking Bad News
Simulated patient task: deliver difficult news (e.g. miscarriage, fetal anomaly, gynaecological malignancy) using SPIKES, manage emotion, agree next steps.
Consent & Triadic Communication
Simulated patient task with partner / relative in room: obtain informed consent for a procedure (e.g. laparoscopy, LLETZ, TOP) or navigate a capacity / autonomy dilemma.
Acute Obstetric Emergency
Simulated colleague task: lead a labour-ward emergency with the midwife as the primary interlocutor (e.g. PPH, eclampsia, shoulder dystocia, cord prolapse, ruptured ectopic). Tests team leadership, drug doses, escalation.
Structured Discussion — Clinical
Examiner-led viva on a clinical scenario from the O&G curriculum (e.g. management of placenta accreta, recurrent miscarriage workup, gynae-oncology MDT decision). Anchored in RCOG Green-tops, NICE NG133 / NG121, MBRRACE-UK.
Structured Discussion — Ethics & Governance
Examiner-led viva on an ethical, governance or duty-of-candour scenario specific to O&G practice (e.g. conscientious objection in TOP, disclosure of a never event, capacity to consent to LARC, sex-selective TOP request).
Example scenarios
A sample of the scenarios you will practise — each plays out as a live, spoken conversation, not a script to read.
“Explain the diagnosis and management implications of heavily dyskaryotic cervical screening results to a 34-year-old woman who has just found out.”
“Tell a 38-year-old G1P0 at 22+3/40 that the anomaly scan has identified bilateral renal agenesis and the prognosis is incompatible with life.”
“You are the on-call O&G registrar. The labour-ward midwife has called you for a primary PPH with an estimated 1500 mL blood loss following SVD. Lead the call.”
“Discuss your management of a P2 G3 woman at 36/40 with placenta praevia and a previous LSCS who has presented with a fresh PV bleed of 500 mL.”
“A 15-year-old presents alone requesting a long-acting reversible contraceptive. Discuss your approach, the Fraser competence framework, and your safeguarding considerations.”
MRCOG practice — your questions answered
How realistic is MedMock's MRCOG practice?
Every scenario is built around the real MRCOG OSCE format and the domains examiners assess. You speak out loud and the AI patient responds in real time, so it feels far closer to the day than reading notes or rehearsing silently.
How does the feedback work?
As soon as you finish a station, MedMock gives you instant, examiner-style feedback and a score — highlighting what you did well, what cost you marks, and exactly what to work on next.
Can I practise specific MRCOG stations?
Yes. You can pick any of the 6 stations to drill a weak area, or run a mixed set to simulate the real exam.
Do I need a study partner or a fixed time slot?
No. That is the point — MedMock is available 24/7 and you practise alone, out loud, whenever it suits you. No coordinating diaries, no waiting for a course date.
Is MedMock right for me if I am sitting the MRCOG?
If your MRCOG exam involves speaking — histories, explanations, breaking news, dealing with patients and colleagues — then spoken rehearsal is exactly what MedMock is built for.
How much does it cost?
Far less than a one-off exam course, with unlimited practice. Everyone starts with a free trial — no card required — so you can see how it works before paying. See current options on our pricing page.
