4 Weeks Flagship PACES Course Reviews
Assalamualaucum. 1st of all thanks to Allah and there is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Most Great"" I have cleared my paces from Pondicherry centre in diet-2/2025. I was listener of Dr. Salman course in August 2024. He is very good Mentor. Thanks to dear Dr Salman Ahsam for your great effort โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Salman Ahsam Sir for my MRCP PACES preparation, particularly in communication and consultation skills. His teaching style is clear, structured, and highly practical. Each session felt personalised, with focused feedback that immediately improved my clinical explanations, patient-centred communication, and ability to handle challenging scenarios confidently. What I appreciated most was his ability to break down complex consultations into simple, reproducible frameworks that work under exam pressure. His calm, supportive approach helped build both competence and confidence. Thanks to Sir's guidance, I entered the exam with a solid strategy and a much stronger ability to communicate effectively and empathetically. I would highly recommend Dr. Salman Ahsam Sir to anyone preparing for PACESโespecially candidates aiming to strengthen their communication and consultation domains.
Thank you, Dr. Salman. Your class provided me with a strong foundation in MRCP, and I am truly grateful for the knowledge I gained. The interactive sessions and the opportunity to connect with friends from around the world made the experience even more meaningful. Thank you sincerely.
Dr Salman Ahsam is unique in sense the way he tought us was full of confidence. There were no confusions.He taught Approach which was simple, straightforward and crystal clear. It put an strong foundation of paces preparation. The learning is also for our day to day clinical practice. I recommend new candidates to benefit from his mentorship.
Dear Dr. Salman, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for your teaching. Your coursesโthough rooted in the basicsโwere truly the crux of my success in passing the MRCP PACES Diet 3, 2025 from the Chennai centre. You taught me to return to the true fundamentals of medicine, and I realised that while these principles may seem basic, they are in fact the pillars that support everything we do. Your courses shaped the way I approached PACES, and without the clarity and structure you provided, I genuinely do not know where my progress might have gone. In my sincere opinion, for anyone who wishes to pass PACES, your teaching is transformativeโit awakens and sharpens the essential fundamentals that the exam demands.

Your teaching which includes do and donts in paces exam were really vital in keeping my basics strong. I strongly encourage all other paces candidate to go through Dr Salman's class and teaching before stepping into real exam.

Dear Dr. Salman, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your guidance, support, and mentorship throughout my journey to passing the MRCP PACES Exam, UK. Your expertise, encouragement, and constructive feedback were invaluable to me. I still remember the devastation I felt after my previous exam attempt, where I missed passing the entire exam by just 1 mark in the communication skills station. However, your words of encouragement gave me the strength to persevere. This time, I scored full marks in both communication stations, thanks to our efforts together. I've also been following you since begining of my mrcp paces journey and your free online sessions on YouTube and other social media platforms, which greatly influenced my understanding of clinical medicine. Thank you for believing in me and investing your time and energy in my growth. I'm forever grateful. I will highly recommend your teaching, courses, and dedication to anyone pursuing a career in medicine. Your passion for teaching and mentoring is truly inspiring, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from you. Best regards, Dr. Muhammad Noman
When I first started preparing for PACES, many well-wishers strongly recommended Dr. Salman Sirโs course. I enrolled in May 2023 as an observer. At that time, I had no idea what it meant to be an โactiveโ or โobserverโ participant but during his course, I gained a complete understanding of all 5 PACES stations. I appeared for PACES at the Hyderabad centre ,one of the toughest and I followed Salman Sirโs structured formats for history taking, examination, and communication. By the grace of Allah, I scored well in these stations. What once seemed hard became easy. One amazing thing about his course is that by the end, you feel confident. You start to believe that PACES is a doable task. My heartfelt best wishes to Salman Sir. With love and respect from Bangladesh
I am Dr Biheena Sulaiman I have passed PACES from kochi centre,diet1/2025 I started my PACES journey by listening to YouTube videos of Dr Salman Then I took Dr Salman course even before I got a seat. Dr Salman lectures make my foundation strong and I practiced same approach till my exam. He used to give detailed discussion of the cases. so we get a thorough knowledge about thecases He will give genuine feedback of our performance I highly recommend Dr Salman course Thank you Dr Salman for all your guidance and support ๐
Salman Sir was my first mentor when I began preparing for PACES. At that time, I was completely blank and had no idea what the exam truly entailed, how tricky and challenging it could be. Sir always reminded us not to take this exam lightly. No matter how smart or sharp you are, PACES tests very specific skills that require focused preparation. He has a deep understanding of the exam. He guides really well on how to approach it, and I gained a very good understanding, especially of long clinical consultations, what questions to ask, and how to structure the assessment properly without missing important details. His classes and approach to clinical stations are absolute gems. He made me believe that even if you haven't seen all the cases,which is sometimes not possible,or you face a case in the exam that you've never encountered before, you can still score full marks. And that's exactly what happened with me in my first attempt. I just followed his advice thoroughly. The performa Sir teaches for approaching each clinical station gives you the systematic structure that this exam demands. He's a complete mentor,always approachable and always willing to help. Whether you pass or don't, he helps you process things, gain clarity, and bounce back stronger. Thank you so much, Sir, for being such a solid guide. Truly grateful.
Assalamu Alaikum. I am quite excited to share my good news with everyone. By the grace of Almighty Allah Alhamdulillah I have passed my MRCP PACEs 1st diet From Kathmandu in 2025. In this difficult journey my respected Mentor Dr Salman Ahsam Sir just helped me to make things easy. The most important and quite difficult station is LCC and communication. These stations bring marks and at the same time if we fail to do good, passing is not possible actually. So without knowing the structure and putting a perfect differential diagnosis LCC station is hard to make. My mentor Dr. Salman Ahsam sir made it easy for me. I highly recommend his course and also pray to Almighty Allah for his continuous success.
Sir, I joined your course as a listener in August, 2024 and you are my first mentor in the journey of MRCP PACES. Please accept my gratitude for introducing me to such a tough looking exam in a very simple and organised manner. The course instilled the confidence in me to carry on the preparation. I recently passed my exam from Pune centre, in India and I shall remain forever indebted for your guidance. @Dr Salman Ahsam Sir Thanking you Yours Truly Dr Pratyasa Padhi
Salman Sir was my first mentor when I started preparing for PACES. At that time, I knew nothing about the examโhow tricky and tough it could be. Sir always warned us not to take PACES lightly. No matter how smart you are, this exam tests specific skills that need focused practice. He understands the exam deeply. He taught me how to approach cases, especially long consultationsโwhat questions to ask, how to structure my answers, and how to avoid missing key details. His classes and methods for clinical stations are pure gold. He made me believe that even if I hadn't seen every possible case (which is hard), or if I faced an unknown case in the exam, I could still score full marks. And in my first attempt, that's exactly what happenedโI just followed his advice closely. The step-by-step method he teaches for each station gives you the structure the exam demands. He's a true mentorโ always supportive, approachable, and ready to help. Whether you pass or fail, he helps you learn, stay clear-headed, and come back stronger. Thank you, Sir, for being such an amazing guide. I'm truly grateful!
I enrolled myself to Dr Salman Sir 's course for 4 times.He is a very dynamic teacher and makes his teachings very interesting and simple to understand. As an active participant I gained a lot of confidence as his feedback has always helped me to shape my preparation in the better way each time.I would highly recommend his course to all the doctors preparing for paces right in the beginning. His teachings and encouragement has help me to organize my preparation when I was very much lost .I owe emmence gratitude to Sir for his guidance Thank you Anamika( passed from Trivandrum center , diet 1 2025)
Assalamu Alaikum. By the grace of Almighty Allah, I passed PACES from Dhaka Centre in diet 01/25. My PACES journey with Dr.Salman Sir started on October, 2021 course as a listener. I feel very lucky to get the opportunity to start my PACES preparation with Sir's sessions. From then, I attended many of the courses as listener & active participant. From the very beginning, I wondered how a person can be this much passionate & dedicated towards teaching! Sir relentlessly takes classes hours after hours but it is never tiring, equally enjoyable & mesmerising even before the completion of each session. The course is designed in such a way that all the necessary informations are never missed for both the PACES & day to day clinical practice. Dr. Salman Sir's teaching method is undoubtedly the best, is a perfect combination of what it requires to be a perfectionist. My PACES journey is a long one in terms of duration. But all through this time, I always got the help & guidance from Dr. Salman Sir. He is not only a passionate, dedicated teacher but also bears an amazing personality. He is very helpful. Whenever I required any help, from learning to motivation, I always knew that Sir was there. When I secured the seat, the first thing that came into my mind that I need to take Sir's course for final polishing & finest approach. This is the most important thing taught by Sir, approach should be perfect whatever the case may be. It can be something encountered for the first time, but the approach is the key that helps to perform confidently. Dr. Salman Sir's way of teaching is unbeatable, attractive, nice, beautiful. I wish every possible success for respected Dr. Salman Ahsam Sir. May Allah bless you with the best rewards. Regards- Dr. Fatema Tuz Zohora Sonya.

Thank you Dr Salman, Your classes and teaching have helped me , i have score full marks for both my consultation station Your history taking structured approach have really helped me to score well in my 2 long cases that i got Both this cases the history taking was not straight forward , but i followed your approach and managed to extract the hidden details to get the diagnosis, missing a simple details would have lead to a wrong diagnosis Previously i used to read the paces books, where the scope was very broad, after joining his classes i changed the way i prepare for the exam and went more focused Always loved your classes, they way the role play conducted and Dr Salman voice really makes your remember the cases well Also he teached how to do focus examination, what to do and what you shouldnโt do Any he always select good cases that comes out in paces diet to discuss The best part of his classes, how to give good differential diagnosis with proper reasoning for it Thank you sir for helping me pass ๐๐ป
I passed MRCP1 and MRCP 2 in 2017 but never got a slot to sit the PACES examination until May 2024. I had almost given up my dream of obtaining the MRCP (UK) diploma. As fate would have it, I applied again in 2024 and finally got my first chance at the exam. At first, I was very anxious as I did not know how to prepare and maximize my chances of success. I reached out to Dr Salman Ahsam, and his words were very calming. He basically calmed the storm of anxiety in me. He gave me examples of many people who were anesthetists and passed PACES under his supervision. I joined Dr Salman's month-long courses as a passive listener on many occasions. I adopted his approach to each station hook, line, and sinker. He's not only a great teacher, but he instills in you hope and confidence to face the exam. There are other PACES teachers of course, but he stands out with his simplified and methodical approach and the way he helps you gain confidence and hope. Believe me, and the way he helps you gain confidence and hope. Believe me, the last thing you need before your PACES examination is not someone who complicates everything with complex algorithms. Dr Salman's approach is for me the best if you want to pass at your first attempt. I never expected to pass at my first attempt given the difficulty level of PACES, but everything is possible when you have faith and have the right mentor. Dr Salman holds you by the hand and guides you through with his well-researched and up-to-date approach. I want to thank you wholeheartedly, dear Dr Salman, for undertaking this venture to teach PACES and for making our lives so easy.
I would like to express my gratitude to Dr Salman for his online PACES course. I did my exam in Glasgow and had doubts if the course will be useful for me as it is taught overseas. I got enrolled as a listener in the course and was really impressed how Dr Salman was knowledgeable and dedicated. His teaching helped me to clarify alot of concepts about station 5 and communication. These concepts can be applied to any station that can appear in the exam. I was impressed about how he is updated about the new stations that appeared recently in the exam even in UK centres. The course is flexible and reasonably priced as well. I recommend it!
I have started my paces journey without knowing anything about the preparation process or exam orientation. I just took Dr. Salman cases without knowing anything about him or the course. That was the best decision i ever made. His level of teaching, dedication for his students is amazing,the way he guides you in each step can't be put into words. I can't put his greatness into words. I have done my MRCPI and MRCPUK only because of his teaching. I can only say if you want to be a better doctor just follow him blindly, he is very sincere and honest mentor. He is a gem, not only he teaches you how to pass exam but also how to be best in your profession.
Dr Salman, Justine here, i want to inform you that i had passed the MRCPI. This was my last attempt, and I was at my lowest, but you encouraged me with motivating words!! Thank you for your guidance and teaching. Thanks you for organizing courses where i can expose myself to various complicated cases. I had learnt valuable lessons and techniques. Despite only appear as an observer, i felt it is good enough as your taught us a very practical approach. I will pass this knowledge on to those junior and will highly recommend them to join your teachings!! Keep in touch Dr Salman.
Thank you Salman sir for being a great inspiration in my PACES journey. I am extremely lucky to have such a dedicated mentor from my beginning. Sir is the one who made my foundation of history and communication. The way he taught the art of history taking and communication is majestic. If one can capture his points, I believe it will be enough to do all kinds of scenarios. I started my PACES preparation by enrolling in this course, but having difficulties in securing the space, in the meantime time I used to attend all the Sundays free session conducted by sir, which also helped to keep me in the track. Salman sir always puts the maximum effort to make the lesson palatable. I have never seen such a mentor who give equal importance for all the students. Even for the clinical stations sir's teaching is very classy. He used to say you have to make your diagnosis by seeing the surroundings of the patient, even before touching the chest or precordium. This learning also pushes me towards my diagnosis in the exam. I am very proud to be a student of such a wonderful teacher and I pray all the best for him. As sir always says this is a high yield course for PACES , I totally agree with this and recommend this course for everyone who are looking for PACES preparation.
Hello Everyone, I passed my MRCP paces (UK) last month in Uk centre. I was a listener of Dr Salman course several times since 2022. Dr salman is a mentor to me and to all our students. I would definitely recommend aspiring physician to have a go with his classes. His classes are world class, his teaching encompasses every aspects you need to ace the exam. He teaches you a general approach to all cases and this helps to crack the exam easily. He is a very dedicated teacher who is very receptive to all his students questions and demands. I wish Dr salman all his best in his future, you are doing a tremendous job for being a guru to all of us. Thank you again Dr salman Kind regards Darvinsing Ramashire
By the grace of ALMIGHTY I passed the PACES exam. It wouldn't be possible without SALMAN sir' s guidance. he literally taught me from scratches. I still remember how scared and low confident I was when I first presented my case to him. Over time he taught me every basic and minute details of history taking, dd making , how to communicate. He corrected my every mistake strictly but generously. He cheered me in my low days. Not only he taught me theory, but also presentation and skill of talking and some very important tricks of examination. Paces is not theorical exam ..but an exam of controlling your nerves, presentation, application, analysis and aptness..and SALMAN SIR is master of teaching it. Thank you sir. I will remain indebted to you forever for your support in my paces journey...I m really thankful to have you my preparation as my mentor guide...
ALHUMDULILAH I have passed my PACES. I had taken Dr Salman's PACES course. It was very helpful. His LCC and communication schemes are updated and concise.He teaches with honesty and full commitment. Thanks again Sir.
Thank you Dr. Salman Ahsam for your sessions! I started my prep with your course and it enlightened my pathway towards this journey. Thank you for your thorough sessions and feedbacks. May Allah bless u more n more. And may you continue to guide many more. Aameen
Pardon me as this is an awfully late post..but better late than never..I passed my MRCPI Part 2 clinical examination in April 2024 from Muscat. Dr Salman 's classes have been one of the corner stones of my preparation.I took his course in August 2023 and March 2024. Amidst my hectic schedule as a working doctor and the mother of an infant, Dr Salman's lectures have helped me a lot. His clarity of concepts,logical thinking and love for the subject make him a wonderful mentor. Thank you Dr Salman
Sir, you are one of the best mentors I have ever seen in my life. The way you used to teach us communication was exceptional. You calibrated the marksheet of each scenario with constructive criticism like final exam. It was excellent. I learnt from you how to handle bizarre cases, how to keep nerve calm during diagnostic dilemma and uncertain diagnosis, how to navigate the LCC. You are a great mentor in each way. Your quote "If you donโt take PACES seriously, it will not forgive you" was a gamechanger speech. I recommend each PACES candidate to do your course at least once. Really your mentorship is excellent. And your way of inspiring us was amazing. I am grateful to you forever. Sir, I hope your healthy life. May Almighty Allah bless you. Thanks sir.
I have passed paces from Kathmandu centre in diet 3 2024.. I have taken Dr salman course in February 2024. He has enriched me with his valuable knowledge. His way of teaching is praiseworthy. His valuable guidance has helped me to pass this exam at very first attempt. I will highly recommend this course to all upcoming paces candidates.
Dr Salman's course was an important part of my preparation for my MRCPI,which I passed this November.I joined in April as an active participant and it was very enlightening because I got to know my weaknesses through his guidance and I worked on them.I loved Dr Salman's history and communication format because it was very comprehensive and detailed and formed the foundation of my history and communication stations which I gained full marks in๐.The course also exposed me to a lot clinical scenarios which were very helpful.Dr Salman is patient and dedicated to the success of every candidate he mentors and I will wholeheartly recommend him to all aspiring candidates.I wish everyone the best of luck on their Paces journey.

Hello dear fellow doctors, Alhumduillah I passed my MRCPi clinical exam in my first attempt held in Dubai Oct diet, I just received my result and I could not be more ectatic. For it Iโm sincerely thankful to Dr Salman for this mentorship, teaching and guidance! I attended his course as a listener for the month of August and September (as I could not get an active spot). Attending his course was like attending ward rounds with your favorite consultant, his teaching methods is so clear and to the point. Moreover he morally supports, encourages and inspire you like anything MashaAllah! He gave me self-believe that I could do it! He encourages and takes questions from all the attendees of the course be it active or listener which reflects his sincerity towards his students. Thank you so much sir, may Allah reward you for your efforts and hard work, and may you keep imparting knowledge to your students in good health and spirits. JazakAllah khairun kaseera
I am grateful to Dr. Salman for his guidance during my PACES preparation. His course is one of the best going around. I started my paces journey by taking his course and that helped me alot on structuring my preparation especially Communication and consultation stations. The course is well-structured, covering all stations comprehensively with a perfect blend of theory, practical tips, and clinical scenarios. This course is a must for anyone preparing for PACES. It equips you not just with knowledge but also the confidence to approach the exam effectively. Definitely worth it.
I have been an active participant & listener of Dr Salmanโs classes since August 2022. He has been instrumental in my preparations, helping me secure my MRCPI (2023) & MRCPUK (2024) both on first attempts. His persistence, dedication and tenacity in expecting his students to not only pass but excel is extremely admirable. A true inspiration indeed!
I learned a lot after attending Dr Salman's courses. I still remembered clearly, before the course started, I listened to the recording of "structure and skeleton of history taking and communication skills". It was an eye opener experience for me and I wished I could have learned this skill much earlier during medical school. His approach to each symptoms and cases made my learning easy and joyful. During the initial preparation, I had no idea how to approach and speak in communication stations. It was Dr Salman's class that I've learned the essence and art of dealing each type of cases. I'm truly grateful that I've met him and gain the skills required to pass the exam. To me, he is not only my mentor in medicine, but also like another father. His dedication in teaching is remarkable and outstanding.
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding coaching and support I received during the MRCP PACES preparation course in December 2022. I am thrilled to share that I have successfully passed my MRCP PACES exam, and I owe a significant part of this achievement to the comprehensive guidance and structured teaching provided by your academy. Your dedication to teaching, detailed case discussions, and personalized feedback truly made a difference. The techniques and strategies I learned during the sessions not only prepared me for the exam but also enhanced my clinical acumen in practice. Thank you once again for your invaluable contribution to my success. I will always recommend your academy to colleagues aspiring for MRCP PACES.
I have joined Dr Salman's multiple online courses since early 2023 as listener as I dont have opportunitiy to join as active participant even I'd love to. I like his teaching method cause it is clear & loud. He will repeat important points few times, answer all questions asked by his student patiently. He even make sure his student is not sleeping during his class. Unluckily due to different time, late night in Malaysia, I always felt asleep & miss almost half of daily classes. Before exam I'll ask his final advices. When failed exam he kept supporting me and pray for my success in next attempt. He will discuss the mistakes or weakness discovered. Try to improve in next exam. During my mom suffers life threatening UGIB & hospitalized for 2 months recently, I always consult him, he even gave me advices & support during my hard time. He's not only good mentor & teacher but he also a real helper, good Dr and person. I can't thank him more by words. May God bless u always Dr Salman. Personally, I suggest u to take his class preferably as active participant. From zero u'll become hero InsyaAllah!
I joined the PACES course online held by Dr Salman on April, July, August and September of 2024 as a listener. Before I started the online course , I was lost and confused on how to approach a clinical consultation and the communication stations. During the time I was a listener, he taught me how to approach the case step by step , how to come to a differential diagnosis just by taking a complete detailed history and prior to even examining the patient. Dr Salman also gave many scenarios which were very similar to what is expected in the PACES exam. During these courses my confidence as a doctor improved and my Clinical comunication skills also were polished and I became more fluent when counceling the patient. Dr Salman also had sessions where important cases in cardiology, Neurology, respiratory and abdoman stations were presented in detail. . Any questions I had he was always available to answer and never made me hesitant or shy to ask when in doubt. Thank you Dr. Salman for your guidance and mentorship and best of luck to all the candidates who will be sitting for the exams. Dr. Samira Pachiyannakis.
I attended this course in September 2023 as a listener and it helped my correct my approach to communication skills and clinical consultation stations. Not only has it helped me to clear the exam, but also impacted positively on my day to day approach to the patients. Dr Salman also has a session on examination scheme every week. Unfortunately I attended just one of those session but i found approach to common cases in exam was very simple,schematic and easy. Thank you Dr Salman for all the help and guidance.
I cleared PACES in my first attempt from Hyderabad (India) centre. Got 151/168. I had joined Dr Salman Ahsams 4-wk course as an active participant. It was one of the first courses I had joined 2 months before my exam. The course was pivotal in forming my concepts. Dr Ahsam sir's way of teaching is really great. He gives a written feedback too as per the RCP format which is extremely great. I got 100% marks in both the communication stations. All thanks to sir๐. I would highly recommend his course to everyone who wants to pass the PACES in first attempt.
I joined Dr Salmanโs course as a listener and found it exceptionally good and helped me learn all the techniques necessary to master the stations especially clinical consults and communication stations. The scenarios discussed were all curated carefully to tackle the themes and skills tested in the exams. This helped me tremendously to go for the exams with more confidence and successfully passed. Thank you, Dr Salman.
I would definitely recommend all aspiring PACES candidates to attend Dr Salman's course multiple times during your preparation as I did. I joined once during the start of my prep and twice before my exam and I would say I thoroughly benefited from his classes and was able to clear PACES in the first attempt. Dr Salman is also an incredibly approachable and experienced mentor. I thankyou sincerely for all your support sir ๐ ๐

Thank you so much Dr. Salman, for providing me the opportunity to join your Paces course at the very last moment, despite the group being full. Even being part as an active Listner, the course helped me so much. The course is very professionally designed, and enlightens all major and minor aspects of the exam. From the basic approach on how to start the station, to acing it up in a few mins, the course was very helpfull. Even focusing on very tiny details, which we usually don't practice, and are really important for the exam. Thanks alot once again, highly recommended. ๐
I first came to know about online classes by Dr. Salman in Dec.21 after passing part 2 and enrolled as listener At that time I had no idea about PACES, met Kalyan, from his group. We practiced together for both IRISH & UK. Kalyan cracked first in his first attempt MRCPI and went to UK. I cleared MRCPI in March 23(1st attempt) and MRCP UK in Dec.23.(2nd attempt) from Kichi, India. I did two listener courses by Salman Sir Dr. Salman describes each case in details and his teaching on how to approach a case ... a must learn for anyone seating for PACES. His detailed teaching in Long clinical consultations and notes on Cardiovascular and Respiratory cases is a treasure to watch THANKS SIR, Regards, Dr. Sankar Nath Jha
I joined Dr Salman Ahsam course as an active member in September . It helps me get exam dos and don'ts, keep in touch with frequently encountered cases. U will have detailed feedback after engaging in each and every case as an active participant . That's very effective for exam preparation. Due to his guidance i cleared paces2023 in first attempt. Highly recommended class to crack PACES. Thanks Sir again.
Alhamdulillah I passed MRCP (UK) PACES Exam in 1st attempt recently. I joined Dr. Salman's course in November 2023. It helped me alot in terms of how to prepare for the exam, how to remain focused during LCC and the do's and don'ts of the exam. I would highly recommend this course to everyone who is prepreparing for PACES whether they have booked for the exam or are beginners. It's a 1 month course with very reasonable fee and it's very worth in the end. And last but not the least, PACES is not learned by books, it's learned by the Mentors. Thanks alot sir again. Stay blessed!
I was an active participant in Dr. Salman's PACES course of December! I passed in my first attempt with flying colours from Nepal, Kathmandu. As I was 8 months pregnant while i got my seat, I got all the necessary help from Dr. Salman Sir during the course. I got 15 out of 16 in both my communication station! I highly recommend Dr Salman Sirs course. Sir was empathetic throughout my journey!
Good evening Dr Salman, I would like to inform that I've passed PACES in Kuala Lumpur centre on first attempt, got a score of 159. I've been a listener in February 2023 and candidate in May 2023. I've learnt so much from you especially the art of history taking. It has formed a strong foundation in my exam preparation. I really enjoyed your class a lot and I strongly recommend everyone to join your class. Thank you so much Sir!
Bundle of thanks Dr. Salman Ahsam. Your course set the tone right for preparation of PACES exam. Your course is a must for all the beginners who want to pursue PACES. Your meticulous way of teaching every clinical station (either communication or consultation) paves the way forward and brings confidence in oneself of getting this esteemed degree. Once again thank you for all the help and support.
Salam to everyone, Alhamdulillah, I have passed my Paces exam from Puducherry. After clearing part-ll written in may, 2023 it was really difficult for me to prepare myself for Paces due to multiple health issues. I couldn't attend any offline courses. On Nov, 2023 I have enrolled as a listener in Dr. Salman sir's course. And it gave me a clear idea over whole exam process.On Dec, 2023 I again enrolled for his course but this time as an active participant. You 'll be amazed by know that Dr. Salman sir identifies the weakness of every student and give honest effort to rectify that. While I was an active participant I was running out of time in my consultations. He left no stone unturned to correct it. And it gifted me 28 & 24 in my two consultation stations and full marks in both of my communication stations. In addition, as I couldn't attend any offline courses and I had very limited time, no one encouraged me except him.He told me to practice with friends/family/colleague.He is a real mentor.May Allah give him best reward for his honest dedication towards his students.
I was introduced to this course by a friend of mine ..I am so thankful to him because..it is after attending this course that I got an outline of how to approach consultation and communication stations. Hence I scored 28/28 in both consultation station. This course is a highly recommended course ..especially because Dr Salman is a very dedicated and patient teacher and he makes concepts and approach to each case crystal clear. He also covers almost all possible cases that can come for the real exam.. Highly recommended course for all MRCP aspirants.
I started my paces journey with Dr Salman classes as listener and learnt on what the exam requires one to know,he made it possible by simplifying the things and especially for history taking Dr Salman tips are always in handy. Dr Salman patiently answered all questions and doubts during the sessions which is much appreciated. Thank you Dr Salman๐๐ผ
I started my paces with Dr.Salmanโs course ,I was clueless how to start prep ,and this course was well tailored to get oriented in paces prep,the materials,approaches all were included.I learnt the basics of communication station from this course,and the history stations were also very good.Also the daily feeds in the group was of big help in revising the topics.Overall this course has helped me a lot in my paces journey and updating my knowledge. Mentor Dr.Salman is very polite and kind hearted,may almighty bless you.
I took my first attempt at paces in dec and i failed. Then i got a substitute seat 3 weeks before the march paces and i took it. I joined dr salmans class midway of his program as a listener. I used to listen to it while putting my kids to sleep. It gave me a proper perspective on how to approach comm skills and clinical consult stations also not forgetting the other stations as dr salman outlines every bit of information in the most simplistic way. I got a 158/168, clinical consult 26 and 28, comm skills 16 and 18. Thank you for guiding me dr Salman Ahsam. I went in for my exam with your advice ringing in my ears that NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING...
Premium Exclusive PACES
Mentorship (One-To-One) Program Reviews
Thank you Dr Salman Ahsam , I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the personalised one-to-one mentorship programme. The teaching has been truly exceptional โ clear, structured, and tailored exactly to my needs. Every session focused on strengthening my weaknesses, improving my clinical reasoning, and guiding me step by step through PACES-style explanations in a way that made even complex topics easy to understand. The feedback is always constructive, supportive, and delivered in a way that builds confidence. This mentorship has not only improved my medical knowledge but also transformed my approach to communication and clinical thinking. It is truly a premium programme that offers individual attention, accountability, and high-yield teaching. I am deeply grateful for the mentorโs time and effort, and I highly recommend this mentorship to anyone who wants focused, personalised, and effective guidance.
I am so much grateful to Salman sir. His words "Count it as an attempt. This is only an exam.. Not life and death" This words encouraged me so much before my Exam..By the mercy of Allah, I passed. Alhamdulillah.
I am grateful to Dr Salman throughout my journey preparing for Paces, His approach towards cases is systematic and easy to adapt not only for Paces but also in practice. He keep encouraging his students to become a better version of themselves. Thank u so much Dr Salman, I hope u will keep other candidates inspired and pass as well
Aoa Dear Respected Sir,,, 1st of all "" Glory is to Allah, and praise is to Allah, and there is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Most Great"" I have done my mrcp PACES in 1st attempt, there are multiple people around me who helped me in different ways, "" it's a complex outcome influenced by factors like hard work, luck, talent, family and friends, being in the right place at the right time, and a supportive network"" But Dr salman Ahsam started to teach me when l even dont know about P of PACES, l remembered those days when l could not speak single sentence in English properly, he encouraged and motivated me and helped me multiple times not like teacher but like a elder brother, l attended one to one session and multiple monthly sessions as listener as well as active participant, his comprehensive approach towards all PACES skills is superb. l have no words to explain my gratitude towards him.... Can you believe after his coaching session when l appeared in exam, the exam was too easy for me,, "" the more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war"" this is his motivation..... Salute to you dear Dr Salman Ahsam
This course has been very useful and insightful! Dr. Salman is an excellent teacher with years of experience, reflected by the way he imparts knowledge, advice, and tips. The course can help in improving history taking skills and communication skills, both essential for PACES. It will also lead to fine tuning the approach to clinical consultations, the part of the exam carrying the highest marks. Clinical consultations can be difficult to tackle, and often can be hard to master. Dr. Salman teaches an approach to take a detailed history, formulate at least three logical differentials (one should be the likely diagnosis), do a focused clinical exam, and present in a confident way. Following this, he teaches you to tackle the viva in a way that makes you confident about that particular topic. After practice of cases with him, one will learn how to approach tricky cases, and will learn to build clinical skills needed for PACES. For communication skills stations, he teaches a structured approach that ensures that nothing will be missed. There are often marks for little details that can get missed if we donโt mention them. I highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for PACES. Or anyone wanting to improve their history taking and communication skills for any clinical exam. One can start with a listener slot to get an idea of how it works followed by active participant slots. Even listening can be very helpful at the start of PACES prep. He often does free sessions; those shouldnโt be missed either!
Alhamdulillah I cleared MRCP Ireland clinical exam from Muscat Oman, May 2025. I would like to express my deep gratitude and appreciation for Dr Salman Ahsem for guiding and preparing me well. I attended PACES course Feb 2024 as active participant and later April 2025 one to one mentorship program and would like to highlight that these were the only courses I took for the exam preparation. Owing to the high yield nature of the course structure, I hardly used any other resource and the sessions were extremely helpful in covering all aspects of the exam. I highly recommend this course to all prospective candidates and hope them all success in exams.
Thank you for guiding me throughout my PACES journey since the beginning till I passed my exam. The cases scenarios and the teachings are almost similar to the real exam. I highly recommend those who are taking this exam to join Dr Salmanโs course. The price is also very reasonable especially the one on one mentorship and the best thing is there is no time limit during the one on one sessions and you are free to find him to discuss any cases as well. I am forever grateful ๐๐๐๐
Paces made easy by Dr. Salman. In preparation of my PACES journey this course (one to one sessions) was the best thing which happened to me. When you are preparing for paces, you need a structure, a good pattern, time management, grip on important history questions and examinations. This course, specially the one to one session is an answer to all of these things. It's equally good for beginners and for someone who is at any stage of their preparation. Best thing for me was that every case we did in any session, it felt like my questions were being answered automatically, that's how good the teaching is. That also tells how much hardwork, research and dedication Dr. Salman Ahsam puts in for the success of his candidates. Special thanks to Dr. Ahsam Really appreciate it. (PS, of all the courses which are thorough, complete, relevant, exam oriented and upto date, this course is the most cost effective.)
Thank you so much Dr Salman for all your guidance throughout the preparation. I highly recommend his one to one mentorship course which I took before my exam, it really helped me in overcoming my shortcomings, especially in the clinical consultation stations. His cases were true representation of the scenarios in the real exam. He gives detailed feedback which helps polishing the skills and structured approach towards each case were the key to success. I am very grateful for his outstanding mentorship throughout and it boosted my confidence before the exam. His teaching sessions were incredible and covers all the areas required to pass PACES exam.
Dr. Salmanโs course is highly recommended for the candidates appearing in MRCP UK Paces exam. I will suggest to take monthly course as well as one to one session back to back before the exam - the points on which the marking is based in the actual exam, it will be really covered in this course upto to the mark! After taking his course I have felt remarkably improvement in the skills especially in long consultation and communication stations.
Assalaamu Alaikum Dr. Salman has been a positive influence on my preparation for the MRCP( Ireland ) clinical examination. With the one on one program he quickly identifies your weak areas and helps you improve on them. In addition to giving you model answers for stations like communication and ethics, he is very kind and follows up with you closely during the time of your exam to ensure you are okay and not too nervous. He is very flexible in his timings for the sessions as well. Thanks for your help Dr. Salman
I have enrolled in Dr Salman 1 to 1 course and the way his teachings/ approaches to each cases really guide me a lot throughout my paces exam preparation. Love the detailed feedback and tips given after each cases. That boosts my confidence for exam. I highly recommend his course for PACES exam preparation. Thanks dr salman for guidance and teachings. ๐
I am incredibly grateful for enrolling in Dr Salman 1:1 sessions, it has helped me alot especially with communication skills and to get the flow and confidence. He is also very patient and guides you step by step during the 1:1 sessions. Highly recommended to all. Looking forward to learn more from Dr Salman in the near future.
Myself Dr. Jyothsna. I passed PACES diet 03/2024 from Kochi, India centre. I started my preparation for PACES from scratch with Dr Salmanโs 1:1 course in July 2024. I also got the opportunity to attend his regular course alongside as a listener, which helped me to understand the finer nuances of PACES as a beginner. In the 1:1 course I got individual attention from Sir, and the feedbacks he gave me after every case presentation helped in bettering my performance, and by the end of it I started scoring near full marks. Dr Salman gave me a strong foundation from which I built all my further preparation. After his course, I used to practice with online study partners on a regular basis. I also utilised his teachings and his advises to better myself as a physician. I'm much grateful to Dr Salman in helping me achieve my dream in the first attempt. God bless you Sir. ๐
My journey with Dr Salman started over a year ago when I had absolutely no idea of how the PACES exam was conducted. I subscribed to his one on one mentorship programme in June 2023, and he really took his time to explain the concepts and tips to score maximum marks. I was also an active participant in 4 different monthly courses between 2023 and 2024, and I was a listener in about 5 different courses. Over the months, I became very confident in my abilities to pass the examination especially in my communication stations. Compared to other online PACES courses I attended, I can confidently say Dr Salmanโs course is definitely the best, not just in the quality of the content, but also in the delivery of his teaching and his obvious passion in ensuring his candidates pass. I 100% recommend this course to anyone who is about to take the PACES examination and as Dr Salman will always say, โInsha Allah, you will pass at your very next attemptโ. Thank you Dr Salman ๐
Thankfully, I have passed my MRCP (UK) PACES exam on my 1st attempt. I am very grateful to Dr Salman for his teaching and guidance. By attending his courses and listening to his lectures, I was able to score full marks for my clinical communication station and near full marks for my consultation station. I hope that future PACES candidates will give Dr Salmanโs course a chance as I believe it will make a difference in the outcome of their revision.
I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Salman for his guidance during my MRCP PACES preparation. His one-on-one sessions were exactly what I needed.He customized each session to fit my individual needs, which helped me tackle areas I struggled with and refine my strengths. Dr. Salman showed genuine care for my progress, consistently checking in to make sure I was confident and well-prepared. His deep knowledge of the exam's latest format and his efficient, clear teaching style made all the difference for me. I couldnโt have asked for a better mentor for PACES preparation.
I have been a listener of Dr Salmanโs courses since 2022 and recently opted for his one to one sessions which have been crafted exclusively to match your schedules and it is very commendable that Dr Salman takes extra effort to make sure he organizes sessions with you even if you are lost in your routine. Dr Salman is extremely honest and dedicated as a mentor and makes sure he paves path of excellence not only for exams but to make you a better clinician.
I have been a listener in Salman sirโs course last year just to know the new paces pattern and how to prepare. When I got the slot for Diet 3 this year, I approached Salman sir to guide me. He is a very dedicated mentor and his feedbackโs are on point. He will make us know our weakness and how to get better at it. Iโm glad to have found a mentor like him and his sessions were very very useful. To be able to pass the PACES in very first attempt isnโt easy, but with great support of mentors and proper preparation anything is possible. Thanks a lot for your guidance and support through the journey sir ๐๐ป
The one-to-one session with Dr.salman for PACES was incredibly insightful, providing a thorough understanding of key clinical skills required for success. Dr. Salman feedback was both constrective and detailed, offering practicle tips to enhance my performance in each stations. Overall, the session boosted my confidence and helped refine my approach to the PACES exam. Thank you sir.

As we say in Arabic, Dr.Ahsam gives and teachs form his heart, he follows all the updates, and try to cover all the possible aspects of Paces as much as possible. I cannot admire his teaching and his efforts enough.
