ABSTRACT
The Royal College of Radiologists sets the FRCR examination and provides guidance notes and a syllabus to prospective candidates on request. The Final FRCR Part A syllabus has been revised and some topics have been removed, notably physics and anatomy. These remain important to Clinical Radiology and will be tested elsewhere, but it does not make sense to specifically revise them for the Final FRCR Part A examination in which they are not included. The new style question will require the candidate to read a ‘vignette’ – a sentence or paragraph setting the scene, which is likely to be a clinical scenario – and then to read and consider a question before picking the best answer from five possible options.
