Edinburgh FRCR 2B courses
The 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.
In response to the recent changes made by the RCR to the FRCR 2B examination, we have moved the course to an online offering to replicate the viva as it is experienced in the current exam.
Vivas are all conducted over Microsoft Teams with the examiners using Mac computers and Osirix software.
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. **
