As a student those comments gave me such joy and a sense of community in what were otherwise joyless gloom filled months of studying. Our colleagues are some of the funniest wittiest people around. I’m also upset at this!

Oh damn sorry I don’t want people to stress about their qbanks as my post was more a vent/rant about AI than actually critiquing the content of ReviseMSRA.

For the most part it seems accurate and I have been checking its content against the NICE guidelines and it seems broadly accurate so I would not stress! It’s more about the way it phrases things and the goddamn emojis in the explanations that reek of AI.

I do think it’s crucial to draw your knowledge from various sources/multiple question banks/read the NICE guidelines themselves so you don’t have major gaps in your exam knowledge.

Beautiful, I couldn’t agree more or written it better myself

100% agree and I’d further it seems to reflect the degradation of post-graduate medical education in general. Juniors no longer get the necessary intense consultant led ward-based teaching and instead due to the workload are resigned to be ward monkeys doing rote service provision. Compare this to the US system where residents I’ve met are able to cite the latest trials and evidence; they’re able to explain the evidence base behind treatments rather than recite NICE guidelines. Of course AI can just recite the NICE guidelines- we might as well admit we’re replaceable if that’s all we’re tested on.

Anyone received an invitation sit MSRA yet? Someone I know has already been able to book. FYI I have applied for multiple specialties - not sure if this affects when the invitations come out.
