At the Final MBBS Examination, there is a written examination consisting of (a) One Best Answer Format MCQs, (b) Extended Matching Format Questions, (c) Short Essay Questions and (d) Clinical Scenario Questions. There is also an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) with a total of 8 stations with structured clinical questions. In 2001, with the changes in the curriculum, continuous assessment of students throughout the whole specialty clerkship including their performance in clinical teaching activities and tutorials was introduced. Also, the format of clinical competence assessment (CCA) at the end of the specialty clerkship was changed to include two parts: -

1. Physical Examination on obstetrics and gynaecology patients held at students' last clinical teaching sessions
2. OSCE type assessment held at the last day of the clerkship to assess history taking, counselling and primary care in O&G

Those who fail the CCA will have to be re-examined at the Final MBBS Examination.
