Essential Info

Welcome to the Glasgow FRCOphth Prep Course - a mock examination course aimed to support ophthalmology trainees as they prepare to sit the FRCOphth Part 2 Oral Examination. We replicate the entire Part 2 Oral Examination (Viva + OSCE), including a communication skills station, across two sessions. As the college moved to a new hybrid format, we will aim to replicate this with the OSCE stations having a combination of patients and videos. There will be no change in the Structured Viva. As previously, a communication skills workshop and a session with previously successful candidates is also included.  ​

Also included is lunch and a post course dinner for all candidates and examiners following the end of the course.
​
OSCE Stations

• Anterior segment
• Glaucoma & Lid
• Posterior segment
• Strabismus & Orbit

• Communication skills (will take place during the viva session, as in the real exam)
