Fellowship at l'Institut de la Main, Paris

A message from Caroline Leclerq:

A year ago, the French government has decided to stop delivering visas for all foreign post-graduate students (including medicine) who were not applying for training or research in Public Universities or Hospitals.

This is very unfortunate, no young colleague outside of the European Union can join the fellowship program of the Institut de la Main anymore. Those who have tried since then have been systematically refused.

The good side is that we have more positions available for Union European members now, namely 3 positions per semester. So if some of your students are interested to spent 6 months with us, please encourage them to apply at www.institutdelamain.com.

Bien amicalement

Caroline

Preston FRCS(Plast) Mock Exam Course

FRCS (Plast) exam is a test of knowledge and its clinical application. The key is delivery of knowledge in a structured way. The candidates are assessed to the level of a first day Consultant, showing quick thinking, maturity and safety in providing effective care to patients

Preston preparatory course is designed to exactly replicate the exam conditions. Timing of the course is chosen few weeks after the theory and just before the practical. It is run over two days - first “Heats” which is few weeks after the theory exam and “Finals” just a couple of weeks before the Practical. It is assumed having passed the theory all the candidates have adequate knowledge and the focus is on applying and delivering this knowledge in a structured way under pressure.

The programme for both days is run exactly like the main exam with short cases, long cases and Vivas. There are one or two lectures in the Heats just to ease the candidates into the course. The clinical cases are carefully chosen to cover the whole curriculum and give exposure to wide array of cases. The Vivas are set up on tables with topics categorized exactly as it would be in the exam. The aim is to provide the candidates a perfect replica of the exam situation, moreover the “Heats” and “finals” being few weeks apart, the candidates can work on the feedback given in the Heats and perform to their best in the Finals.

The Course since its inception has received excellent feedback and the 12 allocated places get taken up quickly.
