MRCOG Part II Revision Course Leicester

MRCOG Part II Revision Course Leicester

Course Director – Professor J C Konje

Course Manager _ Mrs Josephine Priestly

The Leicester MRCOG part II course is rated as the best theoretical course for this examination. This highly sort after and extremely popular course is held at the University of Leicester under the directorship of Professor Justin Konje. Of the over 12000 members of the RCOG, just over 1000 have been through this course. It consistently achieves a pass rate of around 70% compared to an overall pass rate of 20-30%.
The course runs over 6 days and consists of a series of well selected lectures delivered by very able and highly qualified faculty, several practice sessions on Single Best Answer (SBA) Questions and Extended Multiple Choice Questions (EMQ). Each day, candidates practice on 50 SBA Questions and 30-50 EMQ questions. There is then a mock examination run precisely like the MRCOG Part II examination (100 SBAs and 100 EMQs). This provides candidates and opportunity to experience the examination atmosphere as well as the stress that comes with the exams. Every single question is discussed by the course Director or an assistant. These discussions are lively and provide fantastic opportunities for interaction and clues on how to read various materials for the examination.
Recently we have introduced sessions that focus on Guidelines – NICE and Green-top, concentrating on SBAs and EMQs. These sessions are extremely popular as they provide candidates with a better understanding of how to get the best from these educational materials.
Those who attend the course have access to emedicalcourses.com where there are free SBAs and EMQs from guidelines for further practice. The various lectures from the course are also available on the website for further revision.
Our experience over the years has been that a significant number of questions appearing in the exams are commonly on the same themes that have been interrogated at the course and candidates find this extremely helpful.
The course is run twice a year- two course over a two-week period with a day’s break between. They are usually over the second and third weeks of January for those sitting the exams in March and the first and second weeks of July for those sitting the exams in September.
Over the last few years of running the course we have produced several Gold medalists reflecting the quality of our course.
We hope that you will consider joining us as you prepare for your exams. Everyone who is entering the MRCOG Part II Examination has about 1:4-1:6 chance of passing but when you come to Leicester your chances of passing increase exponentially to approximately 3:4. Professor Konje’s experience as an examiner, a member of the various examination committees at the RCOG and a passionate teacher gives this course great value for money.
If you would like further information on the course, visit the website emedicalcoruses.com and or contact Mrs Josephine Priestly at jlp32@sky.com A registration form is available on emedicalcoruses.com where you may find details of the timing of the course and a course calendar.

We look forward to seeing you in Leicester,
Course administration

Fast Track System - MOH

Dear Colleagues,
Keeping in tandem with the aspiration of the country’s needs and the urgent requirement by the MOH, (below is the extract from the DG’s speech on 9thMarch 2016)

“Moving forwards, the MOH is mooting a fast-track system to shorten the duration of training for HOs who excel in their training, whereby these exceptional HOs (who have passed part 1/ part A of the Parallel Pathway Membership programs such as MRCP, MRCOG etc.) will have the possibility of a speedier promotion to become Medical Officers in their chosen field, and subsequently be able to pursue their postgraduate training to become specialists in a shorter duration. “
Datuk Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah
Director-General of Health Malaysia.

Department of Post Graduate & Professional studies, MMMC in addressing the above statement is happy to announce the next MRCP course PART1 (60 hours) will be held in the MUAR campus of MMMC from 21-26th February 2017 in conjunction with OSLER ACADEMY, Hyderabad.

PRESS STATEMENT
DIRECTOR GENERAL OF HEALTH MALAYSIA 
SPECIALIST TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MOH DOCTORS

 The Ministry of Health (MOH) would like to refer to letters published in The Star on 22nd, 23rd and 24th March 2016 titled ‘Give more doctors chance to be specialists’, ‘Budget for critical areas must not be reduced’ and ‘Health Ministry must get priorities right’.

MOH appreciates the concerns raised by the writers with regards to the issues and challenges related to specialist training programmes. Hence, MOH wishes to reassure the public and healthcare professionals alike that despite the uncertain economic times, MOH has never reduced any scholarship slots for the specialist training programme. As a matter of fact, the number of scholarships for the local Masters Programme has increased from only 450 in 2007 to 800 slots for the the 2011/ 2012 sessions, and up to 916 slots in 2015. For 2016, there are 1129 slots available in the local Masters Programme with 998 qualified Medical Officers (MOs) have been offered to pursue their specialist training. MOH will appeal to the universities to allow the remaining 131 MOs who did not qualify earlier to be given a chance for reassessment by the respective universities.

Alternatively, MOs who are unable to enter the local Masters Programme, or those that wish to opt for other postgraduate programmes, may also pursue specialist training via parallel pathways such as the UK Membership Programmes, of which part of the exams are conducted locally in Malaysia. Examples of Membership Programmes that have been implemented in Malaysia are:
  • Member of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP), UK
  • Member of the Royal College of Paediatrics & Child Health (MRCPCH), UK
  • Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (MRCOG), UK
  • Member of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS), UK. However, MRCS is the prerequisite requirement to undertake FRCS for specialist recognition in Malaysia.
MOH will continue to explore various strategies to increase the number of specialists. Apart from a notable increase in scholarships offered and strengthening of the parallel pathway, MOH is also making efforts through various steps such as:
  • Appointment of specialist doctors from private health facilities on a sessional basis.
  • Reappointment of selected senior MOH clinical consultants that have retired, on a contractual basis.
  • Appointment of selected foreign clinical specialists or subspecialists for very critical health service or areas.
  • Encouraging local specialist doctors who are working overseas to return home and give service      to the country, not only in public sectors.
It is worth noting that there is no country in the world that does not face a shortage of specialist doctors for their nation’s needs, including Malaysia. MOH has continuously strived to improve the number of specialist doctors, especially within MOH facilities. It is hoped that more specialists will be produced to ensure that there is equitable public access to comprehensive and quality specialty health services throughout the country at an affordable cost.
