BOA Session
Hall 8
Clinical Examination Course
The BOA Clinical Examination Course has run for many years. The course is accessible to all levels of trainees from medical student to FRCS. It is not intended to be a substitute for a FRCS revision course but to provide good foundational skills of examination technique.
It is taught by an experienced group of consultants who have a logical and consistent approach to clinical examination techniques. The format includes a morning of lectures covering all regions of the body, followed in the afternoon by a hands-on session where participants rotate in groups of similar skill level. In these tutorial groups there is a demonstration by an experienced consultant followed by practice in pairs of the techniques learnt and opportunities to ask questions.
