DRCOG MCQ AND EMQ EXAM PREPARATION COURSE

Who this course is for

Anyone intending to sit the DRCOG examination who is wanting total immersion in the style and conditions of the examination ("true/false" and “best-of-five” MCQ's and Extended Matching Questions (EMQ's)), including experience of their defects and irritations!

You should have already undertaken a significant part of the postgraduate clinical experience and training relevant to the DRCOG. You should have already made a start on your preparation for the examination itself, with some revision of all aspects of the examination syllabus.

What will this course offer you

A week of intenstive practice at DRCOG style “true/false” and "best-of-five" Multiple Choice Questions and Extended Matching Questions (EMQ's). The question material is drawn up by Miss Susan Tuck, an experienced RCOG examiner, and mimics the formats and content of the actual DRCOG examinations. This will be presented to you in the time-frame and environment which you will face in the examination itself, but with interruptions for discussion on the "correct" answers and expected performance at intervals during each session. The idea is to enable you to become familiar with the type and content of the three examination components, to learn how to interpret the questions and anticipate the likely pre-set marking schemes involved, and thus to present your knowledge and skills optimally on the examination day itself..

This course has been changed to reflect the new format of the DRCOG exam i.e. no longer including OSCE circuits, but introducing EMQ's and “best-of-five” MCQ's, which takes effect from the sitting of October 2007 onwards.

During the course of the week, you will also be able to judge what areas of the syllabus you need to focus on yourself in the remainder of your own further preparations for the DRCOG examination.

Who is the course not appropriate for

Anyone wanting a week of lectures on Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Anyone looking for a general discussion of women's health care in General Practice. Anyone who has had no clinical experience or learning in postgraduate Obstetrics and Gynaecology and is needing to start their examination preparation from scratch.
