Mastering the RACMA
Fellowship Examination
Prepare Properly.
Perform Boldly.
Pass with Confidence.
Everyone has an opinion and everyone gives advice when you ask how to best prepare for the RACMA exam. They’re mostly around the lines of “do more cases, use this and that structure to answer, say which state you’re from” etc.
And yet there is no real, practical guide that is actually useful for effectively preparing for the exam and improving your chance of success. Until now.
AIHE brings you an unprecedented opportunity to learn from not one, but two! Bernard Nicholson Award recipients on how to set yourself up for success. In this workshop you will learn tried-and-tested practical tips on how to improve the ‘ROI’ of your study time and effort, how to identify your specific areas of weakness and how to focus your study and practice on the topics that challenge you.
Look beyond the generic advice and shift to a more effective and practical “how to” with everything you need to know and practice to give yourself the best chance of success.
This immersive & case-based workshop aims to build your confidence in planning your approach to the RACMA exam, starting from 6 months out, right up to how to manage on the day itself!
This workshop is facilitated by practicing RACMA Fellows and Bernard Nicholson Award recipients, with extensive frontline specialist medical administrator experience in both private and public healthcare sectors across all Australian jurisdictions.
This workshop is a comprehensive and practical exam preparation guide for RACMA registrars and candidates planning to sit the Fellowship Oral Exam.
