Primary Cast
Your unofficial study group for the ACEM Primary exams. Join myself (Charlotte) and some fabulous guests as we go through the core content from past Primary Viva exam papers. In each episode we tackle a particular topic from one of the four subjects - pharmacology, physiology, anatomy and pathology. It is done in a Q&A format to mimic what the exam is actually like. Summary notes from each episode available on the website at https://www.acemprimarypodcast.com/
