ABSTRACT

According to the Royal College guidelines, participating in a specific number of WPBAs is mandatory for eligibility for the MRCPsych examinations.

All the WPBA forms use a six-point Likert-type rating scale. The standard for completion of each stage of training corresponds to a rating of 4. Most assessment forms would also have an additional item to indicate the trainee’s global performance relative to their stage of training. These forms are available to download from https://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/wba.
