Trainees must have passed the Part 1 written examination within the last 7 years before taking PACES. The examination sets rigorous standards to ensure that trainees are competent across a range of skills and ready to provide a high standard of care to patients.

There are five clinical stations where there are either patients with a given condition, or trained stand-ins (surrogates).
