PART II

Welcome to the Part II Training program.  This can be is quite difficult to organise in order to make allowances for two exams a year.

At this stage I have decided to follow the SCGH program. It is intended to be completed for the EOY exam with one-to-one adjustments made for those who need to sit/re-sit at the beginning of the following year. The syllabus as we all know is extensive. The purpose of the tutorials, however, is not to teach knowledge, but to review knowledge already gained and for candidates to learn exam technique.

Running through the syllabus is a way of keeping an orderly pace through everyone’s reading.

The SUB-TOPICS are special areas that need specific review that have been common past questions or not well covered in day to day work

The 90 minute tutorials will consist of…

• There will be mock exam questions consisting of VAQ’s, MCQ’s or SAQ’s based on the main topic of the day.  This will occupy the first 30 minutes of each session.
• The VAQ’s and MCQ will be marked at the tutorial.
• SAQ's will initially be discussed by the tutorial group, but closer exam time they will be marked by the Consultants and returned the following week.
• The tutorials will encompass not only basic science on the topic but consultant level issues.  They will when able include Radiology and Equipment reviews.
