Online VIVA Practice Exams

First Part, Second Part and Second Part Paediatric 

For trainees planning to sit the First Part, Second Part or Second Part Paediatric exams, online practice exams for the VIVA component will be available. 
 
These sessions are conducted by College intensive care specialists (who are not necessarily examiners) or senior trainees with a passion for education. You will participate in at least one VIVA and be an observer in other VIVA during each session. Feedback on exam technique will be provided after each VIVA rotation. Additional observers including College Fellows, Trainees and staff may also be present. 
 
Please check College e-News for when next session registrations become open. Priority is given to trainees who are attempting the exams in the current sitting.

If you have any queries, please contact the Education Team.
