The Viva Course for the FRCS (Tr&Orth) exam is a mixture of viva topics with typical exam questions with time built in for teaching and also feedback from experienced faculty. It has had excellent feedback from previous candidates. Advanced Clinical Examination study day for the FRCS (Tr&Orth). The advanced clinical examination course will take the form of a series of lectures from faculty on how they would perform an examination of each joint. Delegates will then split into groups and will rotate around a circuit of examination stations with patients to demonstrate on. The clinical examination day in the UK involves a mock clinical examination with candidates examining over 40 patients in a day. Whilst we are unlikely to reach this patient number in Hyderabad one of the reasons for choosing India was our anticipation of a large and wide variety of clinical cases that could be provided by the host hospital.
