ER/UPCC Assessor Training
To fulfill their Clinical Field Assessment (CFA) requirements, PRA-BC candidates must be assessed in acute care settings, such as emergency rooms (ERs) and Urgent Primary Care Centres (UPCCs).
The ER/UPCC assessor is distinct from the candidate’s primary assessor. As such, this ER/UPCC Assessor Training course is designed to prepare assessors conducting PRA-BC assessments in ER/UPCC and other high-acuity environments. The course equips assessors with the knowledge to effectively assess and support PRA-BC candidates in these specific settings.
Physicians who complete this course will receive an honorarium of $180.
