Testimonials

“I am glad to inform you that I passed final FRCR2B in April 2016, i.e. Summer of last year. I am now working at St George’s University Hospital in Tooting, London.

I had attended your course in January 2016 in Yeshwantpur, Bangalore and was quite impressed. I am happy to say that it was quite helpful in terms of viva practice sessions, I congratulate team Columbia Asia and most importantly Dr. Shalini Govil mam for their hard work and dedication towards making this course a great success.

I also recommend my friends to attend this course”

“I would recommend the Columbia Asia Radiology Bangalore course for FRCR 2B preparation! Having attended a number of courses including in the UK before, this course stands out for its rigor, challenging, exam orientated cases, and realistic examination simulation with honest feedback on your viva performance by previous FRCR examiners.

A very enlightening segment on how the examiner plans the cases to assesses the viva candidate, run by an FRCR examiner is included. It also stands out by providing long and short case sets after the course for continued practice. Overall a great learning opportunity!”

– Dr. Mark Tan, Singapore –
(2018 batch)
