RACP Paediatrics Written Examination Syllabus
Curriculum domains
PRIMEX organises its RACP Paediatrics Written Examination study content against the RACP Basic Training Curriculum: Paediatrics & Child Health (pre-2025 PREP curriculum, 2013 edition (published 20 December 2013)), which is arranged into 22 curriculum domains. The college blueprints the DWE and DCE against its Basic Training curriculum in Paediatrics & Child Health, so treat the domains below as the study structure PRIMEX maps to, not as the official exam blueprint. Always confirm coverage against the official documents. PRIMEX maps the College's pre-2025 PREP curriculum (2013 edition), which applies to trainees who started Basic Training before 2025.
