1 Saudi Fellowship Training Program Promotion Exam of Adult Respiratory Medicine 2018 Objectives: The general objective of the annual promotion assessment is to evaluate that the trainee has satisfactorily acquired the theoretical knowledge and clinical competences that he/she should have acquired during the relevant year(s). The annual promotion assessment consists of the following components: a. Written examination b. Continuous Assessment Eligibility for Written Examination: Valid registration with the SCFHS. Completion of at least nine months of training in the concerned year of residency/fellowship training. Written Examination Format: A written examination shall consist of one paper with ( ) MCQs with a single best answer (one correct answer out of four options). If any other assessment format is used the CAC must agree to its implementation. Continuous Assessment Formats: Continuous assessment formats consist of: a. Continuous Evaluation Reports (CER) o CERs should be conducted at least three times which covers 9 training months per year. o CERs are submitted to local supervisory committee for each trainee based on a series of workplace-based assessments (WBA) considered relevant by the specialty. Examples found in appendix 4 and 5. Page 1
2 b. Other assessment formats o Other assessment formats involve: Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE), Structured Oral Exam (SOE), Research activity, International examinations, and/or Academic assignments. c.

Passing Score for Promotion: An average of 60% score in the annual promotion assessment with a minimum of 50% in each component (written and continuous assessment) is required for passing. In a written examination, if the same paper is used for all training levels (i.e. junior or senior), pre-determined passing score to reflect the level difference in fellowship training shall be made where applicable. Example: R1=50%, R2=55%, and R3=60%.
