For Volume 1:
In addition to aspiring paediatricians, this volume has an additional market among professionals with an interest in Paediatrics but who are not aiming to be specialists - e.g.:
GPs, especially those who previously took the DCH exam (the written part of which has been phased out as of Jan 04 and has been replaced by Part IA). The College expects an increase in the number of candidates attempting the DCH and the exam will now be held 3 times per year. Success in Part IA allows candidates 3 attempts at the DCH clinical, before having to re-sit Part IA.
Market size:
Part I: approximately 3000 candidates/year sit this part of the exam
