Cardiff MRCS Course (Manchester): Final Preparation for MRCS A
(For trainees appearing for the exam on Tuesday 15th September 2020)
5th and 6th September 2020
Education Centre, Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester
About
This intensive, two-day course is specifically designed for candidates appearing for the exam on 15th September 2020. Led by Professor Stuart Enoch, the Convenor of the highly renowned Cardiff MRCS OSCE courses, this course is suitable for candidates who have completed adequate prior revision and wish to brush-up on the entire exam syllabus in two days.
There will not be any lectures. Rather, the entire day will instead focus on ‘rapid fire’ discussion of the SBA questions and answers that are most likely to appear in the exam. The sessions will only highlight the ‘must know’ areas and take the candidate through the core topics in Applied Basic Sciences (ABS) and Principles of Surgery in General (PoSG). The course will reflect the format of the exam (180 ABS questions and 120 PoSG questions) and the additional emphasis on ABS, particularly physiology, pathology and surgical anatomy.
This two-day course is calculated to be worth an average of 60 hours of individual revision.
