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.

Certification Examination in Family Medicine Volunteers

The CFPC sends a big thank you to the 535 volunteers who took part in the Spring 2023 Certification Examination in Family Medicine process.
 
  • Chief Examiner and Assistant Chief Examiners

    These physicians are team leaders who work with the simulated office orals (SOO) Leads and Assistant Leads to ensure each block of candidates (East, Francophone, Central, and West) are appropriately tested. They are first in line to help solve any issues raised by the SOO Leads and Assistant SOO Leads during the examination.

    • Chief Examiner: Dr. Alan Ng
    • Assistant Chief Examiners:
      • Dr. Dominique Pilon
      • Dr. Andries Muller
      • Dr. Kendall Noel
      • Dr. Jean Maziade
      • Dr. Samantha Horvey
  • Simulated Office Oral (SOO) Examiners

    SOO examiners played the role of patient and scored the candidate according to a standardized marking scheme.

    The SOOs took place on the last two weekends in April 2023 and examiners had the option of volunteering on the first or second weekend. Some chose to volunteer on both; they have been indicated with an asterisk (*).
