Summary
The successful completion of examinations leading to Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists is a mandatory requirement to complete specialist training in the UK.
The Membership examination consists of two parts: Part I, traditionally thought of as a basic science examination, and Part 2, a clinical examination. However, both parts of the examination have undergone significant change over the past few years to take into account developments in practice and knowledge as well as new ideas in medical education and assessment.
From the March 2012 sitting of the examination, there will be some significant changes to the Part I examination. Changes to the curriculum and syllabus have been approved by the General Medical Council, resulting in an examination that will test applied basic and clinical sciences in addition to the traditional theoretical component. Another significant change to the examination is the introduction of ‘single best answer questions’, which replace the extended matching questions that have previously been used.
This book clarifies the new structure of the examination and provides many examples of the new single best answer question format.
