Frequently Asked Questions 

Alternative Routes to Certification?

(Excerpt taken from “Routes to Certification for Practicing Family Physicians” at www.cfpc.ca)

The ARC is intended as a learning experience, a continuing professional development course based on each physician's own practice. At the end of the process, graduates of this program will be able to use the tools we have provided within their practice and continue to critically reflect on their day-to-day work.

The alternative route is intended to be evaluative in a formative sense meaning that participants will not pass or fail, but will continuously endeavor to improve their practice through the use of evidence-based medicine. A peer tutor will be assigned to each physician to help guide them through their work and reflections.
