Becoming a skilled psychiatrist is no small feat. It’s a journey filled with challenges, growth, and constant learning. As an ex-examiner of the CASC exam and a Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, I have had the distinct privilege of seeing aspiring psychiatric trainees and SAS doctors blossom into dedicated and passionate professionals. Through my several years of experience in teaching and assessing the competency of these individuals, I have come to understand just how important comprehensive guidance is in navigating the complex landscape of the CASC exam.
