I spent three days last week in Melbourne with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) Surgical Specialties Examination Committee (SSE & CE) learning how to write questions for the College's first part surgical examination. As a new member of the committee I was impressed by the dedication and attention to detail that is involved in preparing the first part exam for our young surgical trainees. It was inspiring to see how much time and effort these wonderful academics volunteer to make the exam the best and fairest it can be.
