“Come Back When The Leaves Are Green” and similar random podcasts

Passing the paediatric orthopaedic part of the FRCS (Orth) exam is a real challenge, given the complexity of the conditions and the fact that for many candidates, opportunites for clinical experience are limited. These podcasts complement the intensive one day revision course in paediatric orthopaedics run by Orthopaedic Research UK (https://oruk.org/upcoming-events/paeds-in-one-day-oruk-intensive-online-frcs-orth-revision-course-for-paediatric-orthopaedics/). Using interviews with great teachers, examiners, successful candidates and others, we discuss preparation for the exam, structuring paediatric viva questions logically, the marking scheme and how to score well, how to answer questions about controversial areas of practice, and the common pitfalls to avoid.
