Big Brother will be watching: The RACGP’s ‘in your own home’ fellowship exam
The 1,300 registrars sitting the RACGP’s make-or-break written fellowship exams next month will endure an experience unlike any before.
As a result of the COVID-19 restrictions, exam halls and testing centres are out. So are invigilators pacing the aisles to ensure all is correct and above board.
Instead registrars will be sitting alone in a room — most likely in their own home — under scrutiny of a webcam.
These images are to be beamed back to a team of college proctors who will be on the lookout for signs of outside help, perhaps from a hidden note or an associate lurking outside the room.
