Handbook

This is a barrier examination designed to test your understanding of the Biomedical Sciences in the context of clinical scenarios. Assessment of knowledge of material covered in macroscopic pathology demonstrations and laboratory visits will comprise part of the examination. Anatomical, pathological, microbiological specimens and imaging investigations may also be used as a focus of discussion during the viva examination.

The examination will be held in November at the end of Year 5 and will be replicated at the main Rural Clinical Campuses. It is anticipated that the exams will be held face-to-face, not online. Students are required to sit this examination at the end of Year 5 irrespective of their performance in courses during Year 5. Students who fail the November exam will sit the supplementary examination in May in Year 6.
