Two surgeons Sara E Atkins and Karen J Dickinson have started up a course on Anatomy for candidates taking the MRCS surgical exams. It is a three day course and includes lectures from college examiners and cadaveric specimens. From the information on their web page the course sounds excellant and well though out.
The next course dates are the 7th to 9th September 2007 and more information can be found at www.anatomyforsurgeons.com
Also if anyone has been on the course then leave some feedback here and tells us what you think of.
