1-FRCR Physics and Anatomy Prep (Latest edition-2020)

The FRCR (Fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists) examination is set by the Royal College of Radiologists in the UK and consists of three parts:

• First FRCR: physics and anatomy

• Final FRCR Part A: speciality-specific module examinations

• Final FRCR Part B: long cases, rapid-reporting and viva voce examinations

Colloquially First FRCR is known as part 1, Final FRCR Part A is known as part 2A, and Final FRCR Part B is known as part 2B.

Success in all three parts of the FRCR examination, leads to the award of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists, and entitles the use of the post-nominal letters FRCR.

In the United Kingdom, a specialist needs to hold FRCR (or recognised equivalent qualification) to be on the General Medical Council (GMC) speciality register for clinical radiology, which enables a doctor to work as a consultant radiologist in the UK.

First FRCR examination[edit]

The fellowship examinations start at the beginning of the Specialty Training Year 1 (ST1). The First FRCR examination expects candidates to have gained a knowledge of the physical principles that underpin diagnostic medical imaging and of the anatomy needed to perform and interpret radiological studies. The First FRCR examination comprises two modules: Physics and Anatomy. The anatomy modules is a 90-minute exam comprising 100 images, where each image has several annotations, each of which in turn has a single related question. The physics module is a 120-minute multiple choice question paper comprising 40 questions, each with five true or false answers.
