DTMH Exams
Communicate effectively with candidates about the DTMH exam in 2021 including proposed date, format and exam venues (including home based and potential overseas options).
Why is this important?
Many of us took extensive study leave and committed personal funds to undertake DTMH qualifying courses. We are now trying to plan our lives as we, hopefully, head towards the end of the Covid pandemic and so we deserve to know what the RCP plans. There are now 2 cohorts of students from each course who are living with this uncertainty.
Having put in extensive work it is demoralising and frustrating that the RCP will not enter into communication with us about its plans. Even knowing that there are no plans to hold an exam in 2021 would be more helpful than our current state of limbo. Many of us, including me, are working out our plans for the year, and any proposed exam date will hav a signficant impact on this.
