AbstractThe Final Examination for Fellowship of the Faculty of Anaesthetists, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons has been functioning since 1956. A description of its development and an analysis carried out on the examinations in 1969 and 1970 are contained in the paper by Fisk et al. Since that time the examination process has been continually monitored and refined, although the basic structure has remained much the same for the last twenty years. This report presents an analysis and interpretation of data for 1025 candidates who presented themselves for the examinations from May 1980 until October 1987. Recent development within the Faculty is described to indicate the influence these events have had upon the training and examination of candidates for the Fellowship, and statistical data is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the examination process. Recommendations include possible directions that could be taken to enhance both the training and examination of candidates for the Fellowship examination in the future.
