MRCS Anatomy Cadaveric Tutorial and Viva Course


This two day intensive cadaveric anatomy tutorial and mock viva series will take place at the Department of Anatomy, King's College London. There will be targeted anatomy teaching, focused on high yield topics for the MRCS Part B examination.

 

Delegates will receive small group teaching by experienced surgical faculty. This will centre on selected cadaveric specimens for each of the systems examined in the Part B viva and provides the rare opportunity to make use of the excellent facilities in the Department of Anatomy and Gordon Museum.

 

The next course is taking place on the 1st-2nd September 2018


Format

Delegates will rotate through tutorials covering:

- Neuroanatomy
- Head and neck
- Upper limbs 
- Thorax 
- Abdomen
- Spine
- Pelvis
- Lower limbs

These will take the form of small group sessions (maximum 5 delegates). Faculty will use cadaveric specimens and prosections to prepare delegates for topics commonly encountered on the viva exam. Delegates will have ample opportunity to ask questions, test their knowledge and spend time with the cadavers. This course will be intensive and thorough, all content will be targeted on key MRCS topics. Time allocated to each body region will be determined by the frequency with which it is tested in the exam. Pre-course preparation is recommended in order to gain maximum benefit. Further information will be sent to delegates on booking.
