Inspirational Consultants; amazing cases; would have liked some video session, Good cases!
Very well planned and organised. Video station would be good to include.
No concerns or suggestions – sorry.
A little bit chaotic, unclear at start of day what was going to happen and running late. Improved on Day 2. Video sessions/picture tests. Would have liked eye examination included and to have more days on the course.
Very useful course – lots of patients, good range of pathology. More structural feedback after examinations in particular.
Could the examiners use copies of the MRCPCH Exam worksheet to make notes and give to candidates if time is too short to discuss feedback after candidates examine the patients? Dr Kisat’s tips very helpful, thank you.
