Doctors who failed surgeons exams to rewrite it in multiple-choice format | The Star

Johannesburg - An examination spectacularly failed by all would-be professional surgeons from five universities two weeks ago will now be written in a multiple-choice format. Zach Koto, president of the council of surgeons at the Colleges of Medicine of SA , announced at a media briefing held in Joburg on Tuesday that the multiple-choice format will be used, starting from next year.

A row erupted last week after it emerged that all candidates from Wits University, University of Cape Town, University of Pretoria, Walter Sisulu University and University of the Free State had failed the exam. Some university officials questioned why only candidates from the University of KwaZulu-Natal , Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University and Stellenbosch University managed to pass.
