The Final FRCR: Self-Assessment (MasterPass)

This is an SBA question book aimed at the post-graduate radiology market, specifically those taking the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiology (FRCR) part 2 ('final') exams. This is a complementary title to The Final FRCR: Complete Revision Notes, which published in 2018.

Part 2 of the FRCR is itself composed of two elements. Part 2a is a series of six multiple choice exams covering the major body systems: musculoskeletal & trauma, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, head and neck, pediatrics and chest. Part 2b involves a written exam and an oral viva and is typically taken at the beginning of the fourth year of specialty training. Approximately 700-1000 trainees sit the exam each year. The SBAs would also be applicable for those studying for other exams or coming to the UK to sit the UK exams from Asia and the Middle East.
