1 Saudi Fellowship Training Program Final Written Examination of Adult Hematology 2018 Objectives: Determine the quantity and quality of a hematologist s knowledge base ranked as competent, so that the individual can be used as a referral source for Adult hematology. Using theoretical data, determine the candidate s ability to think logically, to solve problems, to apply basic medical science to clinical problems, and to make judgments with valid comparisons. Screen candidates for the purposes of being allowed to take the final clinical examination. Eligibility: Successful completion of the required period of fellowship training. Obtaining a training completion certificate (or equivalent) issued by the local supervisory committee based on a satisfactory Final In- Training Evaluation Report (FITER) and any other related requirements assigned by the scientific board of adult hematology (e.g. research, publication, logbook, etc.). FITER example outlined in Appendix 6 in the exam rules and regulations document on SCFHS website. Any candidate missed a maximum of three (3) months of training of the whole fellowship program are allowed to sit for the exam (written and clinical), and his/her results will be suspended till that missing period is done. Registering for the examination at least one month before the exam date. Rules: The Saudi fellowship specialty final written examination will be held once each year on a date published on the SCFHS website. Examination dates should be provided by the Specialty Examination Committee (SEC) in accordance with the fixed annual schedule submitted by the examination department. There shall be no reset examination. Page 1
2 A candidate would remain eligible for Saudi fellowship final written examination for a period not longer than three years provided they could prove they had been clinically active. If the candidate did not pass within the three years, an exceptional attempt may be granted upon the approval of the scientific council, provided evidence of continuing clinical practice is presented. A candidate who failed to pass Saudi fellowship final written examination including the exceptional attempt has to repeat the final year of training, after which he/she is allowed to sit the final written examination twice after approval by the scientific council. After exhausting all the above attempts (maximum 6 attempts) the candidate will not be permitted to sit the Saudi fellowship final written examination. Examination Format: A. The Saudi fellowship specialty final written examination shall consist of one paper with Single Best Answer (SBA) MCQs (it shall consist of clinical scenarios with SBA from 4 options). Ten unscored items can be added for pretesting purposes. B. The questions may include slide images as well as figures and diagrams of different hematological investigation. Questions are about the work done by physicians in the course of their practice which may include: - Making a diagnosis - Ordering and interpreting results of tests - Recommending treatment or other patient care (patient safety or complications) - Assessing risk, determining prognosis, and applying principles from epidemiologic studies - Understanding the underlying pathophysiology of disease and basic science knowledge applicable to patient care - Patient safety, ethics, professionalism, and research topics will be assessed in the exam. Clinical information presented may include patient photographs, radiographs, photomicrographs, and other media to illustrate relevant patient findings. Exam content is pre-determined by an exam blueprint which is developed by the fellowship exam committee. The blue print is updated annually for accuracy and to keep up to date with current literature. Page 2
3 Examination Conduct and Duration: Exam period shall be between one hour and 40 minutes to two and 1/2 hour for question paper. The exam will be delivered as a computer based test when available, otherwise paper and pencil. Passing Score: A. The passing score is 70%. However, if the percentage of candidates passing the examination is less than 70%, the passing score must be lowered by one mark at a time aiming at achieving 70% passing rate or 65% passing score whichever comes first. Under no circumstances can the passing score be reduced below 65%. B. Alternatively, to set the passing score, a standard setting method that is supported by published scientific evidence can be used, for which the Angoff method is recommended. The process to arrive to the passing score requires prior review and approval. If standard setting is used the above passing score regulation does not apply. See appendix 7 for more details in the exam rules and regulations document on the SCFHS website. C. To set a passing score using a standard setting method (b), the specialty examination committee must obtain approval of the process and passing score from the SCFHS Assistant General Secretary for Postgraduate Studies one month prior to exam administration. Declaration of Result: All score reports shall go through a post-hoc item analysis before being issued and approved by the SCFHS and SEC within two weeks of the examination. Exemption: SCFHS at present has no reciprocal arrangement with respect to this examination or qualification by any other college or board, in any specialty. Page 3
