This course is delivered in partnership between Orthopaedic Academy and Orthopaedic Research UK and is designed for candidates taking the part 2 FRCS (Tr & Orth) examinations or equivalent, and consists entirely of mock viva and clinical stations. It will provide you with the opportunity to refine and test your knowledge, practice your exam technique, and clarify any issues with an experienced UK based faculty.

Delegates will rotate through the following stations; Basic sciences, Paediatrics and Hands, Adult pathology, Trauma, Intermediate case – upper limb, Intermediate case – lower limb, Short cases – upper limb, Short cases – lower limb.

Tickets: Participant (£250) and observer (£100)
