This course is a 4 day compehensive FRCR 2B Course.

You will get 8 sessions of Vivas and 4 sessions of written packets (where 4 rapid reporting and long case packets will be done live as a mock exam). There will also be 4 sessions discussing the written packets. You have an option to complete the other 4 written packets either before or during the course when you are not down for vivas.

• For those on the standard course, you will get 8 hot seats each with 15 minutes on the hot seat and 10 minutes of feedback (On the Standard Course). You will observe a further 24 vivas of other candidates on the hot seats over the 4 days.

• For those on the observer course, you will be observing a total of 32 vivas over the course of the 4 days

The viva cases will be presented to candidates on zoom where the candidates will be given links to the examiners' case folders for them to scroll through in real time. The session will run to closely simulate the actual examination experience with 15 minutes of viva presentation followed by 10 minutes of feedback

Candidates will use the Revise Radiology website to access the mock written packets and this will be done live so as to reflect the examination.  

All bookings are nonrefundable. Transfer to a future course can be made subject to a transfer charge of £50+VAT, if we are informed more than 30 days before the online course.

There are 4 mock exams during the course where 4 rapid reporting and long case packets will be done live .We expect that candidates aim to complete a long case packet in 70 minutes and a rapid reporting packet in 30 minutes. The other written packets can be done live when you are not down for vivas. You will also have the option to complete them before the course . There will also be 4 sessions discussing all the written packets . Candidates will use the Revise Radiology website where they will get access to the mock exam packets.

Here's what you can expect on the course;

You will get a total of 8 viva sessions during which you will get to see a wide variety of cases. On the Standard course, you get 8 hot seats each lasting 15 minutes and followed by 10 minutes of feedback. When you are not in the hot seat, you will be observing other candidates on the hot seats. This is a great opportunity to learn how other candidates present and also the feedback they receive from examiners. 

The Cases are presented to candidates on Postdicom using Zoom where the candidates will be given links to the examiners' case folders for them to scroll through in real time. The session will run to closely simulate the actual examination experience with 15 minutes of viva presentation followed by 10 minutes of feedback. 

The selected set of examiners includes experienced as well as new FRCR examiners. This means that the viva packets they use are of a similar standard to the FRCR examinations.
