This course is aimed at FY2 and above, and primarily those preparing for the Intercollegiate Part B MRCS Examination. It is designed to help improve candidates' performance in the MRCS Part B Examination via practice sessions with 'mock' MRCS OSCE stations and discussions with examiners on the pitfalls and problems commonly encountered with the examination process. The course structure includes short lectures, discussion groups and OSCE stations.
Please note we also run a one day MRCS Part B Surgical Anatomy Revision Day (Online) priority is given to those registered for the two day Edinburgh MRCS OSCE Preparation Course
Suitability

Course Format
This two-day course uses a combination of presentations, discussion groups, practice sessions and individual feedback given by tutors experienced in the MRCS Exam.
A major component of the course is the series of simulated MRCS OSCE stations covering clinical and procedural skills; applied surgical science and critical care; anatomy and surgical pathology and communication skills.
Clinical OSCE stations use both real and simulated patients and examiners give structured individual feedback with candidates both observing and taking part in the mock sessions. This course also offers an ideal opportunity to apply knowledge gained on surgical anatomy.
