The first step is to approach 2 Full Members to act as your guides and coaches. A good starting point is the members who supported your application for Associate Membership.
You will need to prepare a 30 to 45 minute presentation as part of your application.
Your presentation will need to be approved by your mentors prior to submitting it to the Preview Committee. The Committee will decide whether to allow you to proceed further or whether further changes are necessary in line with Chapter 1 Membership Section 2(2) of the Constitution.
The basis of the presentation is to provide three cases highlighting both clinical and laboratory work. All three cases must show a diagnosis based on clinical examination and investigations. A detailed plan of treatment must be provided, as well as alternative treatment options that could have been used utilised with a rationale for why you went with your chosen treatment plan. The treatment of the cases needs to be detailed and include a step-by-step account of the sequence of treatment with clear and accurate photographs.
The final outcome must be shown clearly and include a retrospective analysis of the treatment; identifying any weaknesses and what could have been done differently. All the treatment decisions must be backed by literature references. The presentation is followed by a 10 -15 minute question and answer session, where you may be asked to recall on the references you quoted.
The list below provides a guideline on the format, as well as the inclusion of relevant data for all presentations. It is by no means comprehensive nor will all the data provided necessarily be required in any one case presentation.
