- Regularly review the Assessment Objectives for Family Medicine, using organizationally approved methodology.
- Recommend any edits, updates and/or additions to the Assessment Objectives documents to CPAC when appropriate. Final approval of changes to the Assessment Objectives document will be made by the Family Medicine Specialty Committee.
- Develop key features and observable behaviours for the assessment of competence for the approved priority topics and themes of skill dimensions.
- Ensure all products are appropriately mapped to the essential skills dimensions and phases of clinical encounter
