Royal College Exams

[JPicasso]

Hey everyone,

 

Was just wondering if there was any public data on Royal College Examination success rates for CMGs specifically?

 

I've been hearing a lot of buzz around the hospital lately about who passed what, and how many people failed their exams. The worst part is that some candidates who people thought would fail, ended up not failing and vice versa.

 

Also, is it inappropriate to ask this information when applying to a program?? I mean, you're there to provide a service but the primary objective is education right? So, if a program has a bad track record of their residents not passing their exams... then it might not be the best I imagine?

The publicly available data's here: http://www.royalcollege.ca/portal/page/portal/rc/credentials/start/exams/candidate_information/general_information/pass_rate_percentages

 

Can't comment on the rest myself though!
