Highlights
We would like to share our experience in conducting online examinations for final year medical students in psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka with the readership of the Sri Lanka Journal of Psychiatry
Since 2018, final year assessments in psychiatry in all state medical schools in Sri Lanka consist of a multiplechoice question paper, a structured essay question paper, a “traditional” long case, a viva voce examination, and a modified objective clinical assessment (MOCE)
In most of these medical faculties, the viva voce and the MOCE are held every two months soon-after a group of 32-36 students complete their eight- week psychiatry clerkship. Both the viva voce examination and the MOCE have been developed as face-to-face assessments with two examiners marking each student
