RCPSC: Upcoming registration deadlines for 2021 exams, FITER no longer required

Change in registration dates
The deadline to register for a spring 2021 Royal College examination is December 4, 2020. The deadline to register for a fall 2021 examination is May 15, 2021. Candidates will not be able to register until we have received their confirmation of completion of training (CCT), followed by the issuance of ruling letters conferring exam eligibility. (If you have not submitted candidates’ CCT for spring 2021 exams, please do so as soon as possible.)

Please ensure that all exam accommodation requests are submitted by the registration deadline.

FITER no longer required
The Final In-Training Evaluation Report (FITER) is no longer required by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada to confirm exam eligibility. Previously, the summary attestation portion of the FITER was collected by the Royal College’s Credentials Unit a few months before the administration of exams. As of 2021, this will no longer occur.

A confirmation of completion of training (CCT) and ruling letter will still be required to be eligible to sit Royal College examinations.
