I entirely agreee - the root of the problem to me is not the syllabus as such (although it could be improved) but the implementation of it (sorry if i didn't make that clearer - I was referring to the ECQB). It's fair enough asking a broad spectrum question about Malaria, but a sub-species such as Dingue Fever? Per-lease!! One of our instructors is a heart surgeon and even he had a problem with it.
Given that 20% of the overall questions are in fact wrong, I think it is a disgraceful way to treat people at the start of their career.
Anyhow,< Victor Meldrew mode off>!
