Family Medicine Physician Assessment

The Practice Ready Assessment Manitoba – Family Practice (PRAMB-FP) Program is an approved process for the purposes of Provisional Registration – Family Practice Limited by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba (CPSM). The 3-month assessment of clinical skills is conducted in Manitoba. Physicians who successfully complete the PRA MB-FP Program will subsequently be expected to practice as a primary care physician in an underserviced area of the Province of Manitoba (as declared by the Minister of Health for the Province of Manitoba) for return of service. Applications for PRA MB-FP will be accepted four months prior to Therapeutics Decision Making (TDM) exam dates, with intake windows occurring throughout the year.
