title: Postgraduate examinations for general practice in Canada and the United Kingdom.
abstract: The membership examination of the Royal College of General Practitioners (M.R.C.G.P.) emphasises factual knowledge, and it is suggested that a clinical component should be included, perhaps using simulated patients as in the certificate examination of the Canadian College of Family Physicians (C.C.F.P.).
