VAPT OSCE Exam Preparation Night 2015 

featuring

Dr Donovan Moncur

Dr Moncur is the Director of Training at Alfred Health, and an OSCE, OCI and writtens examiner for the College.  He has been involved with the Alfred’s OSCE training programme for around 8 years, during which time he has seen hundreds of OSCEs performed and supported close to a hundred registrars to pass this exam.

He will be speaking about How to Make Best Use of Final Weeks of OSCE Preparation

This will be an excellent opportunity to get some “last minute” fine-tuning advice for those of you sitting the OSCEs in September from someone with extensive experience in getting registrars to pass this exam.

Q&A afterwards will also feature fellow registrars who have actually passed the OSCE in April!
