Webcast confirmed - Dual disability in the OSCEs

Greetings all,

How many sleeps to the exams? I'm sure some of you know the answer to that one!

We have had a number of requests for education about dual disability, given we often have little exposure to this important topic during our training. So we have now confirmed the details for our first webcast;

Wednesday 29 September at 6.00pm.
CPD Headquarters, 410/91 Murphy St Richmond 3121
Come into the office and join in the OSCE practice and discussion, or log in and watch live.

We are thrilled to confirm our guest examiner, Dr Jennifer Torr, Director of Mental Health, Centre for Developmental Health Victoria, Monash University. Dr Torr is passionate about registrar education and contributes to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. She has presented at conferences and has written widely about this important area of psychiatry.

As always, we will be filming the event for DVD purchase at a later date.

So please register early to support this important event!

email us at info@cpdformulations.com.au

And for the second webcast topic, stay tuned! You should be pretty excited about that one as well!

Happy studying,

The team at CPD Formulations.

Wake up! SleepSchool is fast approaching!

We once again have our bags packed and ready to leave dreary Melbourne for sunny Brisbane to showcase our most popular course for psychiatrists and registrars - SleepSchool!

to educate you about this important area of psychiatry. In addition to an informative lecture series we will run an afternoon session covering OSCE examination preparation, chaired by Dr Curt Gray, Committee for Examinations Member, RANZCP.

So for all you registrars out there asking for extra OSCE practice prior to the October clinicals, join us in Brisbane!
