The local long-case assessment is held in the training unit and assessed by two FPM fellows. The assessors do not necessarily need to work at the unit or know the trainee but at least one of the fellows must have previously assessed a long case. The patient should be known to one of the assessors but not the trainee and must be invited as opposed to being a waiting list patient.

We've prepared guidance notes and a marking form to support units in the delivery of the local long case assessment. After completing the local long case, trainees must submit the marking form to us with the subsequent in-training assessment. 

We hold external long-case assessments in major centres in Australia and New Zealand. The 2020 dates and venues will be confirmed later in the year. You can apply for the external long case using the application form below.
 

To be eligible to sit the fellowship exam, trainees must:

• Have completed two satisfactory in-training assessments (ITAs) by the examination closing date.
• Submit an application and pay the examination fee by the closing date.

The fellowship examination comprises a written and oral examination. Candidates who are successful at the written are invited to the oral examinations.

Guidance for the structured oral viva voce (SOV) and observed structural clinical examinations (OSCE) for candidates and supervisors of training.
