Registrar preparation for UCPEX

One of our registrars, Dr Crispian Wilson, is offering to form a study group to help with UCPEX preparation. Please contact him for further details.

"In preparation for UCPEX this November I will be organising a fortnightly study group covering key topics likely to come up in the written paper and OSCE, with a planned practice OSCE at a later date. The current plan is to hold study sessions in central Auckland with an option for attendance via Zoom, with presentations on topics delivered by group members on a rotating basis. If you would be interested in joining this group and/or attending the practice OSCE, drop me an email at crispian.e.wilson@gmail.com."
