Welcome to the Clinical Competence Program of BC

The Clinical Competence Program (CCP) is primarily a continuing medical education program. Physicians who attend the program will take part in two full days of competency assessment. In addition to traditional written and oral components, participants will also be assessed on clinical skills in patient encounter sessions. This comprehensive program is designed to give you detailed feedback on your knowledge base, history taking ability, physical exam skills, doctor-patient communication skills, problem solving ability and management skills. The program deals primarily with the skills and knowledge needed by family/general practitioners to be safe and competent in day-to-day office practice, which reflects the majority of work done by all family/general practitioners.
