Description
The FRCR (Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists) 2B examination is a critical component of the FRCR examination process. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive review of the essential clinical radiology concepts required for success in the FRCR 2B examination. The course covers key topics such as chest, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and musculoskeletal imaging, as well as oncology and interventional radiology. This course is suitable for radiologists who are preparing for the FRCR 2B examination or those who wish to refresh their knowledge of these essential concepts.
Course Format:
Video lectures: Each module will consist of video lectures that explain the key concepts and best practices of GCP, using real-world examples and case studies.
Quizzes: At the end of each module, students will be required to take a quiz to test their understanding of the content covered.
Assignments: Students will be given assignments to apply the concepts learned to real-world scenarios and case studies.
Discussions: Students will be encouraged to participate in online discussions with other students and the instructor to share their thoughts and insights.
Final FRCR Part A examination
The Final FRCR Part A examination comprises single best answers, split into two separate papers for the purposes of delivery. Each paper contains 120 questions and examining candidates on all aspects of clinical radiology and the basic sciences of physics, anatomy and techniques.[8]
The six main areas examined are:
1. Cardiothoracic and Vascular
2. Musculoskeletal and Trauma
3. Gastro-intestinal
4. Genito-urinary, Adrenal, Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Breast
5. Paediatric
6. Central Nervous and Head & Neck
Final FRCR Part B examination
During the ST4 training, the specialty trainees are expected to complete the Final FRCR Part B. The Final FRCR (Part B) examination consists of a reporting session, a rapid reporting session and an oral examination.[9]
The extensive examination provided by the RCR ensures a high quality and standard of radiology consultants. It has been deemed as one of the hardest examinations in the medical profession, along with the FRCA and FRCPath.
