PREPARING TO LAUNCH A NEW EXAM BLUEPRINT

Through 2019, CAPR worked to align the Physiotherapy Competency Exam (PCE) with the new competency-based exam blueprint approved in 2018. CAPR’s exam team worked with subject-matter experts to review and recode our entire item bank to ensure the continued validity and integrity of the PCE when built using the new exam blueprint.

CAPR plans to complete necessary standard-setting exercises for the new blueprint by the end of 2020 and administer the first exams under the new blueprint in 2021. The physiotherapy community will benefit from a renewed exam blueprint that accurately reflects the current state of entry-to-practice physiotherapy in Canada.
