Exit Examination:Â The format of the examination includes a written component which will be offered once a year AND a structured oral examination which will be offered twice a year.

The HPCSA has approved the change in name for all sub-specialty qualifications awarded by the CMSA from the current format of Certificates in the Subspecialty to the new format of a Fellowship in the Sub-Specialty in the relevant discipline.
We are currently in the process of updating all sub-specialty regulations to the new format but this will take some time to complete and your patience in this regard is appreciated. While this process is being completed both the old name and the new name regulations will be on our website.
Only once the change has been promulgated in the Government Gazette will you be able to have your qualification updated to the new format.
You will have to supply the CMSA with your original certificate. We will then issue you with the new format certificate and a new Form 19 for the HPCSA.
There is a R100 administrative fee for the issuing of the new format certificate.
Please contact Miss Koketso Boloko on [email protected] for further information.
Since 2021, CMSA examinations have been conducted on an online platform. As a result, the questions remain within the secure question bank and can no longer be published on the website.
This examination will only be offered once annually during the First Semester set of examinations.Â
