摘要：The primary goal of medical residency education is for trainees (residents) to attain competence to provide high-quality, safe, effective, unsupervised patient care when they enter practice. The decision regarding whether residents are ready for independent practice is made based on a combination of in-training assessments and end-oftraining examinations. In Canada, the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) sets the national standards for training and certification in family medicine, including accrediting family medicine residency programs and setting the certification examination. The goal of the examination is to provide assurance that successful candidates meet the profession’s knowledge and skills expectations in family medicine.
