Oncology and Haematology are rapidly evolving and dynamic fields, which account for 12-16 per cent of the RACP written examination questions each year
Here’s what to expect…
A practical and focused overview, with content tailored to the RACP written examination style.
You will cover high yield, core and complex topics.
Each topic will be interspersed with MCQ-based, exam-style questions to consolidate learning.
Each lecture and more complex sub-topics will be followed by a summary slide.
Recent, high impact or practice-changing updates will be highlighted.
Both Dr Luke Ardolino and Dr Richard Blennerhassett have a wealth of experience as educators and appreciate the demands of balancing a full clinical workload with adequate exam preparation. Therefore, the main focus of this course is to cover the types of questions trainees may be asked in the RACP written examination. However, the course also aims to use these questions as an opportunity to explore some fundamental principles in oncology and haematology, reinforce your clinical experience and build confidence as you progress through each step of the RACP written and subsequent clinical exams.
The goal of this course is to provide structured, focused and high yield content, with reproducible, exam focused strategies to maximise your understanding of medical oncology and haematology, and pass your RACP written examination.
