The Fellowship Examination is a daunting experience that seems to loom on the horizon, only to be directly in your path before you know!
We help people prepare for their written and viva examinations for the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Cardiothoracic Surgery Fellowship Examination.
A weekly written paper will appear on this website, in a very similar format to what you can expect on the day. There is a time limit to answer the questions.
For best effect, answer these questions as though you are in the room, on Exam Day. Avoid using external resources, and focus on how you will answer the questions.
Use dot points to structure your answer. It is a good idea to create the headings first, and then fill in the details. This aids in both structure, and time management.
Please note, the formatting options for your answers are nearly identical in every way to the ones used in the examination. Practise how you format your answer ahead of time, so you can be more efficient on the day.
If possible, use an email address that does not identify you. Ideally, the tutor marking your work should not know the candidate's identification to avoid any unconscious bias. We are a small speciality, and most of us know each other.
Please note that we are all volunteers. We do not charge for this service. Questions are a combination of past Fellowship Examination material, made available through RACS, and questions written by our tutors in a similar style. No copyright infringement is intended.
