Dr McIlwaine was one of five Monash candidates to sit the exam - the highest ever number of Monash candidates -- which must be passed for admittance to the college. The gold medal is awarded to the candidate receiving the highest marks in the final exam.

All five Monash candidates were among the 24 successful applicants throughout Australia and New Zealand.

The registrars were all studying obstetrics and gynaecology through Monash at the Monash Medical Centre.

Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Professor David Healy said it was a fantastic achievement by the candidates.

"This is the culmination of years of hard work by tomorrow's specialists and all have excelled," he said.
