In classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.

Description

A 6-day intensive course designed to cover all aspects of preparation for the FRCS (Tr& Orth) examination. The course material will closely mirror the material contained in the Postgraduate Orthopaedics book series.

This course is internationally accredited by the RCSEng and has been awarded 24 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points as part of Course Accreditation by the RCS England

Day 1-4: Lecture presentations.

Four full days of lectures covering all aspects of the key topics you need to know for the exam. The lectures will be delivered by relevant authors of the book and focus on important areas of the syllabus that regularly appear in the FRCS (Tr&Orth) exam.

The course content has been significantly revised to take into account candidate feedback from previous courses and also work from our 3rd edition book. The lecture programme promises to deliver exam related material that really will count for candidates about to sit the FRCS (Tr&Orth) exam.

Day 5: Viva Course for the FRCS (Tr&Orth).

The Viva Course for the FRCS (Tr&Orth) exam is based on the book Postgraduate Orthopaedics.Viva guide to the FRCS (Tr&Orth) exam. The format closely mimics the real viva examination with time built in for feedback from experienced faculty. This has had excellent feedback from previous candidates.

Day 6: Advanced Clinical Examination Course for the FRCS (Tr&Orth).

The advanced clinical examination course will take the form of a mock clinical examination with both short and intermediate cases. This will involve real patients with real clinical signs. No medical students or actors! Last year over 40 patients came for the day with a wide range of clinical conditions.

Thanks for an amazing course Clear insight on exam preparation and examination process. Also very good faculty and venue. The price for the course was too good to be true.

Blog Item Rajesh Pawar

it was a very good review Course . sometimes it feels too much to gather so much of information in such short time, but we don't have a choice. some of the lectures were very monotonous and too much of detailed information , which is definitely difficult to remember. it would be worth while to give some important key information in each topic which we can remember easily. most of us would have read and we will be looking for those buzz words to remember. It is better to re emphasize such words and concepts, which happened in most of the talks. It was a very well organized course and kudos to all the organizing team thank you very much regards R Pawar

This was an excellent course covering a huge amount of the syllabus with a good mix of lectures, vivas and clinical. The vivas and clinical sessions were very well organised and everyone had a good go at all. It was appropriate for all levels. The vivas were also good for pre-part 1. I thought the course was very well organised and the organisers thought of everything - spare pens/books etc. It was a bonus doing the MCQs the Sunday and nice that they provided pencil and rubber! The course was very long and tiring but there is no way around this. This was countered by the copious flow of coffee and snacks including fruit. I thought the civic centre was an excellent Venus with really attentive and friendly staff. Overall a really great course that I would recommend to anyone close to their FRCS. Great work!

Blog Item Tamer Kamal

great course. lots of insight into the exam . the mcq part could have been more on time i know its still early days its a shame the book its not out yet it would have been a great asset. the venue was great most of the viva teaching sessions were up todate and very helpful. A great experience before the exam. thanks for all the hard work and that everyone put in to this course.
