The Royal College’s Practice Eligibility Route for the Area of Focused Competence in Clinician Educator is accepting applications.  This route is available to those who have practice experience in an AFC but have not completed a formal accredited AFC training program.

This route is designed to have that experience recognized and approved by the AFC committee and, if successful, a diploma will be conferred on the applicant. The application fee is $1,950. 

An AFC (Diploma) does not prepare a physician for practice, but rather recognizes an area of supplemental or advanced training.

Physicians who have successfully completed all the requirements and who annually maintain their status as a Diplomate of the Royal College receive an added qualification known as a Diploma of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or DRCPSC.

For more information, including eligibility criteria, please visit the RCPSC webpage for Practice Eligible information related to the Clinician Educator Diploma program.
