  14. Some Feedback Comments on Program Directed to Written Assessment Preparation • An excellent program. I cannot think of room for improvement. • Congratulations for running an excellent and comprehensive program. • The preparation for the exam was also very good in getting consultants from the specialities to go over past questions – this generous time definitely will have obtained us all several points in repeated questions this year. • I think the program overall was excellent in preparing us for this exam. A lot of input has obviously gone into each of the teaching sessions/ days from presenters and directors of training as well as HMO education unit re fantastic booklets from each of the sessions – I used these booklets as references while studying. • I found the program to be really useful, and thought we were very fortunate to have so many people offering their time to teach us. I learnt a lot in every session, and found it helpful to hear how other people think about questions and problems.

  24. Some Feedback Comments on Program Directed to Clinical Assessment Preparation • Excellent preparation and training, grateful for dedication and devotion shown by organisers and directors of training and all senior staff involved in the preparation program. • Excellent program. • I have been amazed at the level of dedication of training directors and consultant teachers during this whole process. • I think it would be difficult to make the overall program more comprehensive or supportive than it already is. • The support from the senior staff was outstanding. • Overall the program was run extremely well. There were a good number of tutorials, but not too many to interfere with devoting time to your job and life outside of the hospital. I was also very appreciative of the extra time (i.e. outside of the rostered tutorial program) provided to those when and if they needed it. • An outstanding program that lives up to high expectations and deserves its excellent reputation.

  25. Very Best Wishes
