Higher surgical trainees preparing for the FRCS examinations. Surgical residents preparing for the board exams in specific specialties.
Students wishing to progress from Specialty Training (ST)1 through to ST3 need to pass their MRCS exams. Once these have been completed and their place in a surgical post secured they then go on to working on the necessary skills to pass the FRCS exam. This exam marks the completion of 6 years of higher surgical training. This series is designed primarily for those studying for the FRCS, but those still working on their MRCS exams will also find these useful.
Over 6000 UK and overseas doctors take the MRCS postgraduate surgical exams each year. MRCS is a 2 part exam – 5hrs of an MCQ exam then an OSCE clinical exam (18 manned, 9 minute long stations).
The FRCS (2 part MCQ exam / then patient based clinical examinations and scenario based structured interviews).
