Residents who have not already attended an orientation session for their exams, can attend the workshop and be given opportunities to familiarize themselves with the SOO marking scheme. However, residents are encouraged to contact their program directors first to see if a local session can be organized for their benefit.
The workshop is an amalgamation of the information provided on the College of Family Physicians’ website, in particular that aspect related to SAMPS and the SOO videos that are also available on the college’s website. Ultimately the workshop is to introduce practice-eligible candidates to the SOOs and SAMPs, which are similar to that which is provided to Family Medicine residents across the nation
