5. Supervisors' Compass Podcast Ep #10 – Will This Be in the Exam? – Part 2

How do supervisors help registrars turn everyday clinical work into exam success?

In the latest episode of the ACRRM RG podcast Supervisors’ Compass, Dr James Best and Professor Richard Hays continue their conversation with Dr James Fraser, exploring what really prepares registrars for assessment.

The discussion unpacks why capable registrars can struggle in exams—and what actually works.

With a focus on authenticity and ongoing feedback, the episode reinforces that every patient encounter is an opportunity for learning and exam readiness.
