Points are accumulated as follows

  • Each year serving as a rural preceptor for students and residents generates one point. 
  • Each SRPC sanctioned event attended generates one point. 
  • Each full year serving on an SRPC committee generates one point. 
  • One point will be given for each skill: GP Surgery, GP Anesthesia, GP Obstetrics.
  • One point will be given to those having published in the CJRM.
