About the PATHWAY

What is the Practice Ready Assessment?

The Practice Ready Assessment is a pathway that allows internationally trained physicians to demonstrate readiness for independent medical practice in Canada without completing a full Canadian residency.

PRA programs assess whether a physician can practise safely and effectively within the Canadian healthcare system, based on real clinical performance rather than written exams alone.

Physicians entering the PRA pathway are evaluated on their ability to function as a most responsible physician and meet Canadian standards of care across common practice settings.
