The following process will be followed regarding notification of the assessment decision by the Manitoba Practice Assessment Program (MPAP) to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba (CPSM):
1. The MPAP Program Director will forward a copy of the full assessment report to the
candidate along with a copy of the letter to be sent to the CPSM.
2. The candidate will have 10 days to appeal the content of the final assessment report on
the basis of allegation of procedural error only. The appeal must be made in writing
(email acceptable) and forwarded to the MPAP Program Director. Note: The candidate
may request a meeting with the MPAP Program Director to discuss possible
potential remediation strategies; however, any remediation undertaken by the candidate
will not result in a change in the decision regarding the current assessment. The MPAP
Program Director is not responsible for arranging remediation, but may be able to offer
assistance. It is the responsibility of the candidate to notify the CPSM if he/she plans to
undertake another assessment should he/she be unsuccessful of the first attempt.
The full cost of any additional assessment components are paid by the candidate.
3. After the 10 day appeal period, the MPAP Program Team will forward a letter to the
Registrar of the CPSM outlining the decision(s) of the assessment process. The final
assessment report will not be forwarded to the CPSM unless requested by the CPSM.
