Mr Rahul Deshmukh is a general surgeon who has examined and coached MRCS candidates for years. He teaches applied basic sciences the way the exam asks about them - anatomy in the context of an operation, physiology in the context of a deteriorating patient.
He runs WispGold's surgical OSCE circuits, where candidates practise structured communication stations under timed conditions with immediate feedback.

Even strong candidates lose marks on these five things. A short read that could save you a re-sit fee.
