Dear Professor Goldik Dear Zeev
In conjunction with our previous talks with You and the President of ESA Sir Peter
Simpson and following your meeting with representatives of the Polish Ministry of
Health the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations the National Advisor in
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy and the Board of the Polish Society of
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy I am declaring readiness to introduce
written part of the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care
(EDA) as a part of the Polish National Exam in Anaesthesiology and Intensive
Therapy since autumn 2008
Poland
Netherlands
Netherlands Last Monday the Council of the Netherlands Society of
Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects Starting the implementation of this program it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative
The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

Advice on MCQ techniques READ the questions
Pace yourself Donrsquot spend long in one question
If you donrsquot know the answer move on and return to the question at the end
If you leave a question leave the answer box blank
Trust your instincts
Advice on MCQ techniques
Do not ldquosecondrdquo - guess yourself and change your original answers Research has indicated that your first hunch is more likely to be correct
(You should only change answers to questions if you originally misread them or if you have encountered information elsewhere in the test that indicates with certainty that your first choice is incorrect)

Dear Professor Goldik Dear Zeev
In conjunction with our previous talks with You and the President of ESA Sir Peter
Simpson and following your meeting with representatives of the Polish Ministry of
Health the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations the National Advisor in
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy and the Board of the Polish Society of
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy I am declaring readiness to introduce
written part of the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care
(EDA) as a part of the Polish National Exam in Anaesthesiology and Intensive
Therapy since autumn 2008
Poland
Netherlands
Netherlands Last Monday the Council of the Netherlands Society of
Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects Starting the implementation of this program it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative
The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

Advice on MCQ techniques
Do not ldquosecondrdquo - guess yourself and change your original answers Research has indicated that your first hunch is more likely to be correct
(You should only change answers to questions if you originally misread them or if you have encountered information elsewhere in the test that indicates with certainty that your first choice is incorrect)

Health the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations the National Advisor in
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy and the Board of the Polish Society of
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy I am declaring readiness to introduce

Netherlands Last Monday the Council of the Netherlands Society of
Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects Starting the implementation of this program it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative
The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

Advice on MCQ techniques
Form a MCQ Group Study (Night Club)
Read first all (5) options before answering

Meaning of common terms
All always invariably characteristically 100
Usual mostly very frequently gt 75
Often common frequently 50-75
Sometimes occasionally 25-50
Rarely very occasionally lt5
None never 0
Advice on MCQ techniques
Longer more specific answers are more likely to be correct
Very precise figures-193are unlikely to be correct
Leave time to check only glaring errors
(Remember your first guess is most likely to be right)
Advice on MCQ techniques READ the questions
Pace yourself Donrsquot spend long in one question
If you donrsquot know the answer move on and return to the question at the end
If you leave a question leave the answer box blank
Trust your instincts
Advice on MCQ techniques
Do not ldquosecondrdquo - guess yourself and change your original answers Research has indicated that your first hunch is more likely to be correct
(You should only change answers to questions if you originally misread them or if you have encountered information elsewhere in the test that indicates with certainty that your first choice is incorrect)

Dear Professor Goldik Dear Zeev
In conjunction with our previous talks with You and the President of ESA Sir Peter
Simpson and following your meeting with representatives of the Polish Ministry of
Health the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations the National Advisor in
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy and the Board of the Polish Society of
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy I am declaring readiness to introduce
written part of the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care
(EDA) as a part of the Polish National Exam in Anaesthesiology and Intensive
Therapy since autumn 2008

Netherlands
Netherlands Last Monday the Council of the Netherlands Society of
Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects Starting the implementation of this program it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative
The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

Dear Professor Goldik Dear Zeev
In conjunction with our previous talks with You and the President of ESA Sir Peter
Simpson and following your meeting with representatives of the Polish Ministry of
Health the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations the National Advisor in
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy and the Board of the Polish Society of
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy I am declaring readiness to introduce
written part of the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care
(EDA) as a part of the Polish National Exam in Anaesthesiology and Intensive
Therapy since autumn 2008
Poland
Netherlands
Netherlands Last Monday the Council of the Netherlands Society of
Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects Starting the implementation of this program it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative
The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

Rarely very occasionally lt5
None never 0
Advice on MCQ techniques
Longer more specific answers are more likely to be correct
Very precise figures-193are unlikely to be correct
Leave time to check only glaring errors
(Remember your first guess is most likely to be right)
Advice on MCQ techniques READ the questions

If you donrsquot know the answer move on and return to the question at the end
If you leave a question leave the answer box blank
Trust your instincts
Advice on MCQ techniques
Do not ldquosecondrdquo - guess yourself and change your original answers Research has indicated that your first hunch is more likely to be correct
(You should only change answers to questions if you originally misread them or if you have encountered information elsewhere in the test that indicates with certainty that your first choice is incorrect)

Netherlands Last Monday the Council of the Netherlands Society of
Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects Starting the implementation of this program it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative
The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

Advice on MCQ techniques
Form a MCQ Group Study (Night Club)
Read first all (5) options before answering
Finish first the questions you know
Know the meaning of common terms used in MCQrsquos
Meaning of common terms
All always invariably characteristically 100
Usual mostly very frequently gt 75
Often common frequently 50-75
Sometimes occasionally 25-50
Rarely very occasionally lt5
None never 0
Advice on MCQ techniques
Longer more specific answers are more likely to be correct
Very precise figures-193are unlikely to be correct
Leave time to check only glaring errors
(Remember your first guess is most likely to be right)
Advice on MCQ techniques READ the questions
Pace yourself Donrsquot spend long in one question
If you donrsquot know the answer move on and return to the question at the end
If you leave a question leave the answer box blank
Trust your instincts
Advice on MCQ techniques
Do not ldquosecondrdquo - guess yourself and change your original answers Research has indicated that your first hunch is more likely to be correct
(You should only change answers to questions if you originally misread them or if you have encountered information elsewhere in the test that indicates with certainty that your first choice is incorrect)

Simpson and following your meeting with representatives of the Polish Ministry of
Health the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations the National Advisor in
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy and the Board of the Polish Society of
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy I am declaring readiness to introduce

Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects Starting the implementation of this program it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative
The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

Health the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations the National Advisor in
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy and the Board of the Polish Society of
Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy I am declaring readiness to introduce

Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects Starting the implementation of this program it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative
The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

The result is that the Council last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course

Advice on MCQ techniques
Do not ldquosecondrdquo - guess yourself and change your original answers Research has indicated that your first hunch is more likely to be correct
(You should only change answers to questions if you originally misread them or if you have encountered information elsewhere in the test that indicates with certainty that your first choice is incorrect)
