Needs Assessment on New-to-Practice Physicians in British Columbia

UBC Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD) is exploring the learning and environmental needs of physicians who are in their first three years of independent practice in BC.

We are seeking input from physicians in their first three years of practice in BC, including those who participated in BC-PIP or Practice Ready Assessment BC (PRA-BC), graduates of a BC residency program and physicians who recently moved to BC from another province. The study involves two phases. You may choose to participate in one or both. Participation will remain confidential.
