Previous Trainee Doctor Reviews
The physics intensive weekend course helped me understand the concepts behind the physics used for X-rays, CT, MRI, and Ultrasound. Their online notes, example answers and MCQs were really useful to pass the exam.
Dr Mark Zuriek
Accredited Radiology Registrar, NSW
The Physics content is a fantastic resource! Each modality is presented in an approachable and clear format which is easy to understand. This makes learning the content much easier and gives you a good foundation to allow you to best prepare for the Part 1 exams.
Dr Riley Pulford
Accredited Radiology Registrar, Western Australia
I found the Physics and Anatomy courses incredibly helpful for my exam prep as they lay out the fundamental concepts in an easy-to-understand and clear format. The practice questions were particularly useful in reinforcing my knowledge and boosting my confidence. Highly recommend it to anyone preparing for their exams as they are truly a great resource!
