The course is likely also suitable for exams such as FFICM and EDIC as well as other examination in Intensive Care Medicine where a knowledge of basic science is required.
This is a revision course covering major topics of the FRCA Primary Curriculum. It's delivered entirely online, so you can revise at your own pace: Pause, Rewind and Replay.
We focus on high yield topics that are likely, if not certain, to come up in the Primary FRCA. It is the perfect way to kick-start your revision or recap.
Perfect for the Primary FRCA (UK) and other worldwide Primary Anaesthetic exams - see the 'international course' section for more information!
