Applied Anatomy for MRCS Preparation and Surgical Training

Written by a team of examiners and senior anatomists, our Applied Anatomy for MRCS Preparation and Surgical Training eLearning courses give you the opportunity to review your anatomy knowledge and apply it in a number of different question formats and clinical scenarios.

Working at your own pace, you will learn how to use applied anatomy to explain normal body structure and function, diagnose and manage common surgical conditions, and conduct competent physical examination. The courses include the type of images used in the MRCS Part B exam, making it a great tool to prepare for the anatomy stations. 

The courses cover three main anatomical areas and currently include the following modules: Abdomen, Thorax and Limbs
