• Clinical Sessions
• Practice vivas in general and sub-specialty surgery, critical care and academic surgery
• Tutorials on sub-speciality topics
• Authoritative state of the art lectures
• Symposia

NOTE: The Intercollegiate Specialty Examination in General Surgery consists of two parts. The first part comprises a two hour multiple choice paper and a further two hour paper using extended matching questions. The second part is a clinical and oral examination. Candidates are not allowed to take the clinical and oral examination (part 2) unless they have passed part 1.
