Testing

There will be a formative form of testing at the end of the EM Masterclass days. The format of this test will resemble an OSCE (objective structured clinical examination). Case-based questions in a face-to-face discussion with the faculty are the principal form of examination. Important issues need to be addressed by the candidate in order to pass the test. These include history taking, physical examination, further testing and management issues. Candidates will be asked to justify their approach, and to discuss points of controversy, as previously done during the EM Masterclass days.
