About Us

Smart Academy is a training centre of excellence based in Chennai, India. This was started with the objective of training doctors to enhance their competencies in Paediatrics and to help them scale greater heights in their career. The major focus is on training doctors to achieve success in MRCPCH exam. There are dedicated online courses for MRCPCH Part 1, Part 2 and clinical exams as well as face to face Mock Exam with real patients for Clinical exam. All our faculties are Consultant Paediatricians/ Paediatric Subspecialists with postgraduate qualification in Paediatrics in India as well as MRCPCH in UK.

The courses are specifically designed for candidates who have had no prior paediatric experience in the UK. The success rate for candidates appearing for MRCPCH exam at overseas centers is significantly lower than for those appearing in the UK and we strongly believe that this is due to the lack of awareness of UK medical systems, UK guidelines and protocols, cultural and social differences. Since all the faculty members at ‘SMART Academy’ are Indian doctors who have been trained and have worked in hospitals in India and in the UK, we are aware of the differences in clinical practices and guidelines and hence are in the best position to help candidates bridge the gap and cross the fence in grand style.
