Cardiff MRCS Course: Basic Sciences and Clinical Application for MRCS A

7th - 10th March 2024

College of Physicians and Surgeons of Cardiff, Frazer Building, 126 Bute Street, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, CF10 5LE



About

Basic sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, and microbiology, are the principal components for developing a strong foundation in surgical training and for the understanding of its clinically applied aspects, such as surgical anatomy and surgical pathology, critical care physiology and applied surgical sciences, and principles of surgery. As such, these subjects form an integral part of the MRCS A exam.

This intensive four-day course will provide the attendee with an overview of basic physiological principles, consolidate the attendee's core and applied surgical knowledge in anatomy and relevant pathology, and give a focused revision of pertinent topics as tested in the exam. The emphasis will be on key principles and concepts, with focus and guidance on answering single best answer questions. The course will take into consideration the recent changes to the MRCS A exam, with more emphasis on the clinical application of basic sciences, especially anatomy.

The course is divided into four distinct, but related, days. On Days 1 and 2, the emphasis will primarily be on basic and surgically applied anatomy and related pathology. This will include relevant embryology, surface anatomy and osteology in the head and neck, upper limb, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and lower limb. The autonomic nervous system and pertinent histological findings of all common cancers will also be discussed. Days 3 and 4 will predominately cover basic pathology, system-specific pathology, applied surgical sciences, burns, trauma, microbiology, pharmacology, genetics, statistics, trauma, vascular surgery, breast surgery, endocrine surgery, upper GI and lower GI surgery, and the principles of surgery in general.

It is strongly advised that delegates attend all four days of the course to obtain the full benefit. However, if a delegate is particularly strong in the topics taught on any of the four days, then he/she has the option of attending individual days of the course.

Reviews

The topics covered in the course were vast and Professor Enoch had seemingly limitless knowledge on all topic areas covered by MRCS. Going through practice questions was a practical way to guide discussion and learning and the way that some questions were structured (with 4 'incorrect' answers being factual statements) was useful to have a record that we could make notes from later. I found the course incredibly helpful and a great refresher of knowledge long lost from 1st or 2nd year of medical school (10y ago!), and I feel much more confident about my upcoming exam.

This course greatly exceeded my expectations for how much I would gain. Professor Enoch is a fantastic teacher and highly knowledgeable. He answered every question I asked explaining it thoroughly and as participants we saw it as a challenge to see if we could ask a question and Professor Enoch wouldn't know the answer! His teaching is amazing and I would recommend this course to anyone planning to sit MRCS. I think for the price it's a bargain!
