MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
Hello! My name is Dr Aalap Asurlekar, and I am a psychiatry trainee in the UK. I created MRCPsych on the Go to make revision for the MRCPsych exams easier to fit around busy clinical work.
This podcast is designed for psychiatry trainees preparing for Paper A, B, CASC but also, medical students. Each episode focuses on key syllabus topics and explains them in clear, structured language to help you understand and retain the most important concepts.
Topics range from psychopathology, psychopharmacology, neuroscience, sociology, behavioral science, psychological therapies to clinical assessment. Episodes include exam style questions and clinical scenarios to support active recall and exam preparation.
The aim is to provide focused, high yield psychiatry revision you can listen to during commutes, walks or between shifts.

MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
14. Are We All the Same? How Psychologists Study Individual Differences
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Can personality be measured like height or weight? Or is every person so unique that general rules simply do not apply?
In this episode, we explore two fundamentally different ways of studying personality. The nomothetic approach looks for patterns across large groups. The idiographic approach focuses on the individual in depth. We also cover early theories of personality, including Hippocrates' four humours, and why this debate still matters in modern psychiatry.
Ideal for MRCPsych Part A revision, psychology students and anyone interested in what makes us who we are. Aligned with the Royal College of Psychiatrists MRCPsych Part A syllabus, paragraph 1.1.6.
