Examination Volunteer Recognition
Family physicians across Canada have volunteered their time to support the Certification Examination in Family Medicine and Examination of Added Competence in Emergency Medicine. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, the College has certified many physicians, increasing the health care workforce supply and helping to counteract physician burnout.
Please join us in acknowledging their tireless work and incredible efforts.
