Welcome

The Edinburgh FRCR 2B Course runs twice a year, in February and August.

On each occasion, there are two 2-day Courses, comprising 6 small group tutorials, 3 hour long, individual vivas for each candidate, each with 2 examiners, 2 long case exams and 2 rapid reporting exams, and also a 1-day Course, made up of 5 rapid reporting exams and 3 long case exams.

The 2 day courses are Mon-Tues and Thurs-Fri. The 1-day written course is on Wednesday.

 

Vivas are all conducted on Mac Mini computers, using Osirix software.

 

We have moved to a web based delivery of the rapid reporting and long cases for the 2 day course. The one day course remains on Osirix. 

 

The course is designed for doctors in the final stages of preparation for the FRCR part 2B exam. We would therefore advise that for the best learning experience, you attend the course immediately prior to your confirmed 2B sitting.

 

** We are aware that the new timings of the 2A exam are causing difficulty for UK trainees planning attendance at 2B courses. We are sympathetic to these difficulties and will assist where possible. We would advise trainees looking for places on our courses to contact us ahead of time to indicate interest. We allocate places based on dates interest is first expressed. **
