Supporting High-Stakes Medical Exams
Medical exams often involve a mix of paper-based and computer-based formats, oral assessments, and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). These assessments require:
- Secure venues with dedicated rooms for candidates, examiners, and support staff
- High-speed internet and robust IT infrastructure for digital exams and image manipulation
- Trained invigilators to uphold academic integrity
- Quarantine and waiting areas to manage candidate flow and prevent information leaks
- Consistent exam delivery across multiple cities and time zones
Cliftons provides all of this and more, offering centrally located venues in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, and Wellington, as well as a network of partner locations across the Asia-Pacific region.
Case Study: ANZCA’s Hybrid Exam Success
ANZCA needed to deliver hybrid exams across 11 venues in Australia and New Zealand, including Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Auckland, and Wellington. The exams required secure rooms for small groups, virtual Viva booths, and breakout spaces for examiners. Privacy and reliability were non-negotiable.
Cliftons delivered a comprehensive solution:
- Dual-redundant internet and in-house IT support to eliminate connectivity issues
- Customised room setups for Viva virtual exams and in-person assessments
- All-day catering and dedicated admin rooms for examiners and staff
- Technical support and invigilation to ensure a consistent candidate experience
The result? Over 400 candidates were examined across multiple dates with zero disruptions. ANZCA’s assessment lead praised Cliftons for creating a “hassle-free experience” that met all logistical and technical requirements.

Enhancing OSCEs with Hybrid Features
Another medical college client sought to retain the benefits of virtual OSCEs, such as recording capabilities and quality assurance, while returning to face-to-face formats. Cliftons’ Melbourne venue was transformed into a purpose-built exam hub, complete with:
- Exam stations, briefing rooms, and private spaces for prayer and breastfeeding
- Integrated recording platforms for remote monitoring and examiner calibration
- Secure candidate flow management with separate morning and afternoon sessions
This hybrid approach allowed the college to streamline staffing, improve examiner collaboration, and deliver a superior candidate experience.
