Queensland primary exam refresher course
This full-time, five-day intensive course covers many of the core curriculum topics that could be included in the ANZCA primary exam.
This course is appropriate for trainees who have already spent at least six months of full-time study (i.e. 20 hours/week) or twelve months of part-time study (i.e. 10 hours/week) engaging deeply with the primary exam curriculum. It consists of:
- 32 hours of interactive lectures
- Course attendees attendees are expected to be familiar with most of this content
- Lectures will be neither comprehensive nor didactic
- Trainees encountering these concepts for the first time are unlikely to benefit from attending the course
- 8 hours of SAQ practice
- Course attendees will write answers to SAQs under exam conditions every day of this course, starting on the first session of the first day
- SAQ answers will be subjected to self-critique, peer-critique, and comparison to an objective standard, i.e. an answer written by a course attendee that is deemed worthy of at least a “3/5 pass mark” by a primary examiner
The aim of the the course is not necessarily for trainees to gain more knowledge. It is to help guide trainees devise strategies on how to acquire and integrate knowledge so they can more successfully translate it into marks in the SAQ portion of the primary exam.
