The CFA is designed to evaluate a candidate's readiness for independent medical practice as a most responsible physician (MRP) and subsequent career as a family physician in British Columbia. Candidates will spend 12 weeks in a specified community, under the direct supervision of trained physician assessors, where their clinical skills will be observed and assessed.
