Description

Hello! My name is Dr Aalap Asurlekar, a Core Psychiatry Trainee in the UK and the creator and host of MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials. 


Having experienced firsthand the challenge of preparing for the MRCPsych exams alongside full-time clinical work, I created this podcast to make high-quality, structured revision more accessible.


Each episode focuses on key syllabus topics, explained in clear and structured language to help you understand and retain the most important concepts.


Whether you are a psychiatry trainee preparing for Paper A, B, or CASC, or a medical student looking to strengthen your psychiatry knowledge, this podcast is designed to fit around your schedule. Episodes include exam-style questions and clinical scenarios to support active recall, so you can revise during commutes, walks, or between shifts.
