Virtual Orthopaedic Clinicals

Three days. Twenty five faculty members. Sixty patients.

One Amazing Online course.

This online course will provide lectures on all sub-specialty orthopaedic examinations as well as extensive videos of common clinical cases and how to demonstrate essential clinical findings when asked by examiners. The new format of the FRCS clinical examination now utilises a significant proportion of simulation and very little patient contact. This however should not detract anyone preparing for the exams from being able to describe key salient features relevant for specific cases. We are confident that this course will equip the participant with the ability to tackle common cases often encountered in the FRCS examinations.
