Oral & Maxillofacial (FRCS OMFS oral)
Sit your FRCS OMFS viva after rehearsing every answer out loud
Rehearse FRCS OMFS Maxillofacial Surgery viva scenarios out loud against a senior examiner who probes your reasoning. Get instant, examiner-style feedback on every answer — as many times as it takes to sound fluent.
What is the FRCS OMFS viva, and how do you practise for it?
The FRCS OMFS viva is an oral exam where you defend your clinical reasoning out loud to a senior examiner. The most effective preparation is repeated spoken rehearsal — with MedMock you practise viva-style questioning against an AI examiner and get instant, examiner-style feedback on every answer.

You can know the medicine and still freeze in the room
The FRCS OMFS viva rewards fluency under pressure. It is not enough to know the answer — you must articulate it clearly and in a structured way, while a senior examiner interrupts and probes further.
That ability comes only from rehearsing out loud against someone who challenges you. Yet willing seniors are scarce, mock vivas are rare, and rehearsing silently develops none of the fluency you need on the day.
FRCS OMFS viva practice, on demand
The Intercollegiate Specialty Board exit fellowship in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Four 30-minute examiner-led oral vivas covering the full OMFS curriculum: Section A (craniofacial / dentoalveolar / TMJ / surgical dermatology), Section B (head & neck oncology / reconstruction / salivary), Section C (oral medicine & pathology / cleft / orthognathic), Section D (orofacial infections & emergency surgery / orofacial pain / maxillofacial trauma / aesthetic surgery). Operative surgery, ethics, clinical governance and medico-legal issues may be examined within any section.
MedMock gives you a senior examiner who probes your reasoning, available 24/7. Pick a question, have a genuine spoken conversation, and get instant, examiner-style feedback the moment you finish — scored against what genuinely matters in the FRCS OMFS. No rota conflicts, no study partner, no waiting your turn. Simply practise whenever you have ten minutes.
How it works
Choose a question
Pick from the real FRCS OMFS questions — all 4 of them, or let MedMock surprise you the way exam day will.
Have the conversation
Speak naturally, out loud. The AI examiner listens, follows up and probes further, exactly like the viva.
Get instant feedback
The moment you finish, you get specific, examiner-style feedback and a score — what you did well, what cost you marks, and precisely what to fix before the next attempt.
Why candidates practise with MedMock
Practise out loud, any time
No study partner, no booking, no rota clash. Open MedMock at 6am or midnight and run a full question in minutes.
All 4 questions, endless variations
You will never simply memorise answers. Each run is different, so you build the real skill — adapting in the moment.
Examiner-level feedback in seconds
Know exactly where you lost marks and how to address it, instead of guessing why a mock session went poorly.
Turn nerves into muscle memory
By the time you sit the FRCS OMFS, the format feels familiar — because you have already done it dozens of times.
A fraction of the cost of courses
Avoid the hundreds of pounds you would spend on a one-off exam course, and practise unlimited scenarios instead.
Practise anywhere, from your phone
On a break, during the commute, between jobs on the ward — your preparation goes wherever you do.
Practise every station

Example scenarios
A sample of the scenarios you will practise — each plays out as a live, spoken conversation, not a script to read.
“A 45-year-old man is referred for an implant in the UR6 site, 18 months after extraction. He smokes 15 cigarettes a day and the residual ridge sinus floor is at 6 mm — walk me through your assessment and offer.”
“A 60-year-old man with a 3-cm ulcerated SCC of the right floor of mouth on biopsy. Talk me through your staging, surgical management, reconstruction and adjuvant pathway.”
“A 30-year-old man planned for a Le Fort I osteotomy for class III malocclusion. Walk me through your assessment, planning and surgical sequence.”
“A 22-year-old man brought in after an RTC with a panfacial fracture and reduced GCS — talk me through your initial assessment and definitive management plan.”
FRCS OMFS practice — your questions answered
How realistic is MedMock's FRCS OMFS practice?
Every scenario is built around the real FRCS OMFS viva format and the domains examiners assess. You speak out loud and the AI examiner probes your reasoning, so it feels far closer to the day than reading notes or rehearsing silently.
How does the feedback work?
As soon as you finish a question, MedMock gives you instant, examiner-style feedback and a score — highlighting what you did well, what cost you marks, and exactly what to work on next.
Can I practise specific FRCS OMFS questions?
Yes. You can pick any of the 4 questions to drill a weak area, or run a mixed set to simulate the real exam.
Do I need a study partner or a fixed time slot?
No. That is the point — MedMock is available 24/7 and you practise alone, out loud, whenever it suits you. No coordinating diaries, no waiting for a course date.
Is MedMock right for me if I am sitting the FRCS OMFS?
If your FRCS OMFS exam involves speaking — defending your reasoning to an examiner — then spoken rehearsal is exactly what MedMock is built for.
How much does it cost?
Far less than a one-off exam course, with unlimited practice. Everyone starts with a free trial — no card required — so you can see how it works before paying. See current options on our pricing page.
