#Mastering a and p heart blood flow series
We are keen to hear about how this series is assisting registrars and their supervisors in preparing for the FCFP SA examination. Please visit the Colleges of Medicine website for guidelines on the Fellowship examination.
We suggest that you attempt answering the questions (by yourself or with peers and/or supervisors), before finding the model answers online. The theme for this edition is general adult medicine. This month’s edition is based on unit Standard 1 (lead clinical governance activities by facilitating reflection on health information to improve quality of clinical care facilitating risk management processes and improving patient safety and critically reviewing new evidence and applying the evidence in practice) and unit Standard 2 (evaluate and manage a patient according to the bio-psycho-social approach). The MCQs will be based on the 10 clinical domains of family medicine, the MEQs will be aligned with the five national unit standards and the critical reading section will include evidence-based medicine and primary care research methods. Each of these question types is presented based on the College of Family Physicians blueprint and the key learning outcomes of the FCFP programme.
This section in the South African Family Practice journal is aimed at helping registrars prepare for the Fellowship of the College of Family Physician of South Africa (FCFP SA) Final Part A examination and will provide examples of the question formats encountered in the written examination: multiple choice questions (MCQs) in the form of single best answer (SBA – Type A) and/or extended matching question (EMQ – Type R) short answer questions (SAQs) questions based on the critical reading of a journal article (evidence-based medicine) and an example of an objectively structured clinical examination (OSCE) question. Keywords: Fellowship of the College of Family Physicians SA examination family medicine registrars general adult medicine critical appraisal clinical governance.
