Psychiatry registrars quit college committee after fellowship exam fiasco
They are also demanding a vote of no confidence in the college leadership citing 'consistent failures'
Psychiatry registrars have resigned en masse from their college’s training committee, citing a ‘culture of disregard’ after its bungled fellowship exam earlier this month.
They are also calling for a motion of no confidence in the ‘current management team’ of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists.
The move comes after 270 trainees were forced to abandon their clinical fellowship exam after a major IT glitch during the Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) earlier this month.
The bungle caused “significant distress” to the registrars, some of whom have already waited 18 months to sit their exams because of the pandemic.
