Respected President CPSP, Chief Examiners & CPSP Council
Assalam O Alaikum,
Sir, We hope you are in good health.
We would like to draw your attention to a few pertinent issues which need urgent amendments.
CPSP indeed has come a long way and We are truly grateful for the support that You and Your team has extended to all of us - the Undertraining doctors.
In order to truly fulfil the spirit of international standardization; We would request that the following considerations may please be put forth before the worthy council and necessary changes be inducted in FCPS II Exam pattern:
1.Part 2 exam pattern should be like MRCP PACES - there should be no long cases - short cases stations and scenarios may be revisited as per PACES pattern.
2. Exam marking should be further looked into and be made structured in order to ensure zero bias and fair evaluation across the board.
3. A third silent observer should be added at each station which should evaluate the two examiners as per international standard
4.Detailed feedback should be provided to unsuccessful candidates highlighting weakness and suggesting areas of improvement as per international standard.
We sincerely hope that you will consider these suggestions and bring further changes to the current FCPS II exam format.
Kind Regards,
FCPS Trainees

The feedback from colleagues has been overwhelming and confirms that this struggle for a fairer system is long overdue. I am currently spending my evenings organizing these accounts to present a clear case to the council despite the exhausting lack of official acknowledgment so far.

Reaching this level of visibility has been draining but necessary. It shows that many of us are struggling under the current system and refusing to stay silent about it.

I would like to add one thing more. Part2 exam should be conducted more frequently, at least 4 times a year, if not theory at least toacs, and cases should be conducted 4times a year. Its very hard to wait for 6months after an unsuccessful attempt. Its just wastage of time for highly mature family and society supporting individuals
It is a need of time to change pattern of fcps exam and follow international examinations like mrcp paces don't have long cases. Fcps is also now emerging as International post graduate degree and we need to follow international exam systems. Moreover it is generally a luck based exam now as to get long cases in exam. Someone with low skills will pass exam easily when he gets easy long case but someone who is a good at skills will fail with difficult case. There should be equal opportunity for all.
Fcps part 2 of medicine is very very on the spot performance and more so examiner dependent,cpsp has not a single consenses of methods neither have any book material which they consider sstanard for medicine ,asked things which even rare for speciality people
Examiners must be given a key to assess a candidate.cpsp passing percentage is 60 percent.it means if a method has 10 steps.candidate has performed 6.he is pass. If examiner asks 10 qs, candidate answers 6 he is pass.kindly give a proper key
They should concentrate on educating examiners...rather then tell candidates what to do...esp that captan sahab....he use to say no examiner is here to fail u...infact all of these examiners were there to fail us...whats point of giving zero mark to any candidate in a tocs station..
Ok
Excellent

I would like to add that there should be a training schedule to teach procedures and regular teaching by supervisors as per a curriculum so that every FCPS fellow should have a minimum standardized training and expertise.
