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

You will get 8 sessions of Vivas and 1 mock written Exam (where 1 rapid reporting and long case packet will be done live). There will also be 1 session discussing the mock written Exam. 

Besides this, there are 4 viva-style tutorials which will be conducted.

• 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. 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 observe 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 on a platform which simulates the real Exam.

There are 8 written packets  which can be done before the course.

There will also be  sessions discussing  few of the packets

We expect that candidates aim to complete a long case packet in 70 minutes and a rapid reporting packet in 30 minutes.

 Candidates will use the Revise Radiology website where they will get access to the written packets on a platform which simulates Practique, the platform used by the RCR for the Exam.

There are model answers available for all packets as well as pre-recorded videos with discussion of the 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 on the hot seat, you will be observing other candidates on the hot seat. This is a great opportunity to learn how other candidates present and observe the feedback they receive from examiners. 

The viva cases are presented to candidates on Postdicom using Zoom, where the candidates will be able to scroll through the cases 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.

The viva style tutorials allow participants to challenge their diagnostic and presentation skills.

Candidates have the opportunity to be on the "hot seat," presenting directly to experienced examiners, while others observe and receive valuable feedback.

The viva style tutorials are an opportunity for observers on the course to present cases and receive feedback on their presentation style.

After a certain candidate has presented a case and received feedback as well as a score for the case, the next candidate will present the next case and so on.

This format allows you to observe multiple candidates' presentation style in a group setting while also making use of the Examiners' feedback and teaching around the case.
