About
The highly popular Christie-Doctors Academy FRCS (Gen Surg) Section 2 Course will be conducted as a hybrid course divided into two components, as outlined below. Delegates can choose to attend the full course (which is recommended) or only the face-to-face component of the course.
There will be six evenings of interactive discussions held via Zoom before the face-to-face component. These will take place on Monday 1st July, Tuesday 2nd July, Thursday 4th July, Monday 8th July, Tuesday 9th July and Thursday 11th July 2024. These sessions will cover the following core topics in the FRCS syllabus (JCIE): Breast Surgery, Benign Upper GI Surgery, Malignant Upper GI Surgery, Benign Lower GI Surgery, Malignant Lower GI Surgery, HPB Surgery, Endocrine Surgery, Transplant Surgery, Trauma, Critical Care, and Statistics.
The face-to-face component of the course will be held on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th July 2024 at The Christie Hospital in Manchester. On Saturday 13th July, there will be focused vivas in General Surgery, in the delegate's selected subspeciality, academic surgery (reading a paper/basic science/statistics), and trauma and critical care. On Sunday 14th July, there will be patient-focused clinical examination on real patients, as well as discussion on radiology and pathology. There will be no lectures during the face-to-face component of the course, and the entire weekend will be dedicated to vivas, discussions, and clinical examination of patients.
The highlights of this course include a high tutor-to-delegate ratio, coverage of all essential and high-yield theory, updates on current advances in all sub-specialities, vivas in all areas as in the exam, and clinical examination of patients.
Places are limited and will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis.
