Wellington NZ final exam course
This three-day course is focused on the medical and anaesthetic viva components of the ANZCA final examination.
Registrations are open from 8am 30 November to 5pm 13 December and will be accepted online here.
Course structure
The course is held at Wellington Regional Hospital and runs over three days, beginning on Wednesday 10 February, and finishing on Friday 12 February 2027.
The first day consists of lectures and a practice SAQ session. Invited specialists give lectures relevant to the medical vivas, covering the major organ systems.
The following two days consist of practice vivas under examination conditions, requiring formal attire.
Each candidate will experience practice medical vivas, anaesthetic vivas and a separate anaesthetic viva which is videoed and individually debriefed with a clinical psychologist.
When not participating in a viva session, candidates will have access to data interpretation stations. The contents of these stations have been selected by anaesthetists to be relevant to the medical component of the examination.
Cost and registration
Applications will be taken from the end of November. You can expect to be notified of the outcome by Friday 18 December.
Due to limited capacity of 24, places are available only to candidates who have registered for the upcoming sitting of the exam.
If the course is oversubscribed, your exam registration will be checked, and places will be allocated using a balloting process (providing candidates have registered before the closing date).
• Registration fee: NZ$1500 (includes all catering).
