MRCEM
Who we are
Pakistan MRCEM Academy is the first dedicated MRCEM teaching platform in Pakistan.
founded by three Pakistani doctors who successfully passed MRCEM exam—including Primary, Intermediate, and OSCE—while practicing in Pakistan.
Achieving full MRCEM certification while working in Pakistan requires immense dedication, discipline, and perseverance. In fact, even doctors working in developed countries for over a decade find this qualification challenging. Having personally experienced this journey, we understand the unique obstacles that Pakistani doctors face in preparing for MRCEM. That’s why we established this academy—to provide structured guidance and support, ensuring that doctors can clear the MRCEM exam efficiently and in the shortest possible time.

Why are
We Doing This.?
Emergency Medicine is more than just a specialty it’s a calling. We believe that every patient’s first point of contact should be with someone who is not only skilled but also deeply trained to make a difference in those critical moments.
With that in mind, I am beyond proud to share an exciting milestone! Alongside my incredible colleagues, Dr. Rida and Dr. Rajab , we have founded Pakistan MRCEM Academy the first of its kind.
Our mission? To make your MRCEM journey smoother, more accessible, and truly affordable. We know how challenging this path can be, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way with high quality courses that won’t break the bank. Because excellence in Emergency Medicine should never be out of reach.
Let’s do this together!

Why Choose
Pakistan MRCEM Academy?
QUALIFIED
Highly Valued
MRCEM is a highly valued qualification awarded by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) in the UK. It significantly enhances career opportunities, not only in the UK but also in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Middle Eastern countries. However, access to quality MRCEM training has traditionally been limited, with most courses being offered internationally at high costs in foreign currencies—making them unaffordable for many Pakistani doctors.
DESIGNED COURSES
Pakistani Doctors
Recognizing this gap, we established Pakistan MRCEM Academy—a course designed by Pakistani doctors, for Pakistani doctors, with subsidized fees in Pakistani Rupees to make quality MRCEM preparation accessible to all.
OUR PROGRAMME
Particularly Focused
Our program is particularly focused on supporting doctors who may have taken career breaks or lack confidence in pursuing postgraduate exams independently. We believe that no doctor in Pakistan should be held back from achieving their career goals due to financial constraints or lack of proper guidance.

Our Vision
The Challenges of Self-Study & How We Help
MRCEM is a relatively new qualification compared to MRCP or FRCS, and finding authentic study resources can be difficult. Additionally, there are very few trainers in Pakistan who are fully equipped to guide candidates through the entire Royal College of Emergency Medicine curriculum. This is where our academy stands out—we have already been through this challenging journey, and we know the difficulties firsthand.
