If you want to attend successful & comprehensive MRCS OSCE or Part 3/B clinical courses, read on!

Candidates often breathe a sigh of relief once they have finally completed their initial examinations. However, they often forget how essential it is to show the examiner that they have clinically examined thousands of patients in all speciailities!

Additionally, candidates are unaware of how vital it is to stick to traditional examination sequences with militant efficiency in order to pass

The problem is, you haven't performed thousands of ankle, shoulder, neck, fistula and stoma examinations before. In fact, there are many examinations that you have never carried out properly before!

We teach you the sequences that you are required to know, observe you perform them and give you personal feedback on your performance.

You will receive a succinct & comprehensive original colour course book with original diagrams, radiographs and other images, covering all major examinations. This will be in an identical format to how you have been taught using the DrExam (TM) Learning System. This information has been collated by top-candidates who passed first time with impressive scores, then proof-read by Consultant Surgeons.

Our candidates consistently report that the DrExam (TM) Learning System facilitates information recall during stressful examination conditions.

We teach you the answers to the common questions asked at the end of your stations, including differential diagnosis, in a structured manner that anyone can learn easily.

We will also teach you to pass the communication stations, often failed by a number of candidates.
