MRCS B OSCE changes, and new online revision resource

It's all change for MRCS B this week.  The Royal College of Surgeons have finally announced the concrete changes to the MRCS Part B OSCE exam.  As suspected, they've dropped the dedicated history taking station, and this is now incorporated informally to most stations, and more explicitly in the communication skills stations.

For us, it couldn't have come at a better time - we're working hard on our brand new online revision for MRCS B: OsceCases, and the phenomenal Mrs Catherine Parchment-Smith is making final adjustments to her forthcoming book for MRCS Part B.

OsceCases is the first of its kind: an online revision resource featuring key exam cases with focused teaching, illustrating symptoms and signs and demonstrating perfect technique.  Launching in April, we'll have sample cases and free trial subscriptions available soon.

Our other new product for MRCS Part B is MRCS Part B OSCEs: Essential Revision Notes.  Part of her indispensable Essential Revision Notes series, which has helped thousands of surgeons pass MRCS Part A; this new title will become the bible for MRCS Part B candidates everywhere.  Based on the bestselling Surgical Short Cases for the MRCS, this fantastic new title covers everything you need to know about the exam.
