Notes from censor meeting 22 Nov 2017
Open forum with Monash Trainees and state censor and deputy censor
22 Nov 2017
Q. can you outline the new changes to selection to training
No cap on numbers not related to limits
Dates will standardize terms and dates for transition points which should make life easier for knowing where you are with WBA requirements
Previously based on primary date and not beginning of term
Dash board and progression
Q. How should we deal with questions we have for the college
A. Get names of people you spoke to and or get them to put it in an email in case of an appeal
Best method of contact - training routine email first then call, be aware fo resource issues at acem around exam times
Call if urgent
Demt should be first point of contact DEMT may contact Jo or Jon
Workload varies depending on the number of people going to panel every 6 weeks
AMC accreditation curent - looking at policy and guidelines around many aspects of training
WBA issues -
Q. Should CBD be done during clinical hours.
Q. what are the requirements for part time work
Q. How much time should you spend in doing admin work for you training requirements
Q. How should trainees deal with Issues with getting mini CEX done in a clinical shift esp getting the required level of complexity
ADVICE
Don't do the minimum - ensure you do more just to be sure
Exams issues
Q. Are there any changes to the exam in the near future
ADVICE
Don't forget there is an expected standard at consultant level
Q. what is the reason behind the limits on exam attempts
Reason to prevent early sitting
Exam costs a lot to run and resource intensive
Need to limit numbers able to sit due to resources
Concerned about trainee welfare wrt cost and stress
Inline with other colleges
ADVICE
Sit the exam when you have achieved a competency standard eg If you fail a mock exam do not attempt the real exam
Preparation is competency based and not time based
Concern expressed
The number and frequency of changes
Response - 7 sitting of OSCE format exam so ACEM are confident that the exam is valid enough to introduce the new sitting llmit rule
What happens after three attempts
After three unsuccessful sittings you will be asked to show cause as to why you should not be excluded
Concerns raised about the level of feedback and ability of candidates to learn from unsuccessful attempts
There are efforts to improve the feedback
ADVICE regarding FE OSCEs
Strategies for repeated failures
Suggest practice with more observers and examiners
Contact the college for additional support
Can be hard to assess your own candidates
Need OSCE training for upwards of 5 years if you are not familiar with them. 3 - 6 months isn't adequate
Ensure that you have a good standard of medical expertise. This is the main domain being assessed in the current format exam.
Suggest reviewing the old format SCEs to practice discussing medical expertise

AMC accreditation curent - looking at policy and guidelines around many aspects of training
WBA issues -
Q. Should CBD be done during clinical hours.
- Should be done out of hours - test of deeper understanding, review of the entire consultation and issues around it.
Q. what are the requirements for part time work
- .Recent change to ensure that the total number is equivalent per fraction worked
Q. How much time should you spend in doing admin work for you training requirements
- no expectation but you need to find time to fit it in? During your own paid education time.
Q. How should trainees deal with Issues with getting mini CEX done in a clinical shift esp getting the required level of complexity
- Use the calculator and make sure you get the right mix
- Issues with calibration among SMS
- Use the calculator to ensure the SMS are aware they are using the definition and not assessed against the level of patients they see every day
- Panels have now calibrated the levels of complexity and don't expect trainees to have issues with complexity
ADVICE
Don't do the minimum - ensure you do more just to be sure
Exams issues
Q. Are there any changes to the exam in the near future
- 3 attempts at any exam from beginning of 2018. Reason is to prevent people sitting too early
- Primary - no foreseeable changes
- FE written no changes planned to questions -? Changes to expected responses.
- OSCEs will change - more cross table stations with probing of understanding
- SIM may not be sustainable and may be changed to a different format
- Number of stations may be decreased
