Edinburgh FRCR 2B courses
The Edinburgh FRCR 2B course has been running for over 15 years.
We run a 2-day course, comprising 6 small group tutorials, 3 hour long, individual vivas for each candidate, each with 2 examiners as well as written exam practice. From May 2025 this will include the new short cases as well as long cases.
In response to the recent changes made by the RCR to the FRCR 2B examination, we have moved the course to an online offering only to replicate the viva as it is experienced in the current exam. Further changes to mirror the change to case delivery for vivas will be made in due course.
Vivas are currently 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.
Our courses are over-subscribed and we therefore need to manage demand. You should register your interest in the course you wish to attend and we will then allocate places to it, normally 2-3 months prior to the date of the course. After a place is allocated to you, we would take payment to confirm your place. We also operate a waiting list in case of cancellations.
