Doctors take on ‘discriminatory’ Colleges of Medicine

Moletsane , a general practitioner in Kroonstad, Free State, says CMSA is also refusing him access to his exam scripts.

Moletsane wants to be a specialist in internal medicine and is studying at the University of the Free State.However, he has failed his CMSA exam twice – during the first semester in 2017 and again in the second semester last year. Moletsane was among six medical practitioners whose complaints led to the meeting. At the same meeting, universities raised similar concerns regarding the CMSA exams.

Moletsane said his requests to CMSA were about his MCQ scripts and that the policy had not changed anything.There was a low throughput rate of local African specialists, coupled with unfair treatment and discriminatory practices towards African registrars, specialists and academics as a result of CMSA exams;

Black candidates were separated from their white counterparts on the basis of the command of English and were failed deliberately; and “Having tried to get a fair and transparent exam from CMSA without any success, I wish to be informed as to which examining body you recognise outside South Africa. I will make arrangements to be examined there, with the expectation of being registered after passing,” Moletsane wrote.
