FRCS Part 3 - exam preparation and techniques

Overview

Here at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow we support surgeons throughout each stage of their career with education, exams, awards and scholarships. 

Our fully virtual preparation day will aim to run through the logistics of the FRCS Ophthalmology Part 3 exam, covering both the structured orals and clinical components, as well as a broad understanding of each exam station and the major topics in the syllabus.

The aim of this course is to help and guide FRCS Part 3 candidates in providing:

• Practical guidance on the format of the exam and what to expect on the day
• A broad understanding of the major topics in the syllabus through live lectures and discussion with current and experienced examiners
• Setting out the focus of each station and the timing allowed
• Examples of good and bad performance
• Discussion around common exam myths
• A platform to allow discussion and questions

One of our Lead Examiners and Course Lead, Adam Booth, says it's a "wonderful opportunity to learn from current examiners in how to approach preparing for the exam, including invaluable tips on oral and clinical exam techniques".
