Conferences, meetings & courses (oncology)
While some argue that it is best to attend a course six months before you are due to sit your exam to find out the required standard, doing a course a month before provides you with a more realistic 'mock exam' situation. These courses are usually oversubscribed, with preference given to those about to take the exam.
