MRCPsych examinations — Chief Examiner
Applications are invited from College Fellows for the post of Chief
Examiner, which will become vacant at the end of this year. The postholder
works closely with the Dean, has day-to-day responsibility for the conduct and
standards of the examination for Membership and reports directly to the Court
of Electors on such matters.
Based within the Department of Examination Services, the postholder will be
supported in his or her work by the Head of Examination Services and her
assistant. The Chief Examiner is an honorary position with a term of office of
4 years. It is probable that the postholder would need to devote one session
per week to this work, not including attendance at committee meetings. A
further one session a week will be required before and immediately after
publication of the results of each examination diet, in May and June, and in
November and December each year. The Examinations Sub-Committee (ESC) meets
four times a year and the postholder will work closely with the Dean and
members of the ESC, especially the two Deputy Chief Examiners. Interviews are
likely to take place in the latter half of November.
If you are interested in applying, please contact Ms Julie Smalls, Head of
Examination Services, Royal College of Psychiatrists, 17 Belgrave Square,
London SW1X 8PG by Friday 2 November 2001.
