The Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (CAPR) is seeking a diverse group of experienced and committed physiotherapists to join its Item Development Committee (IDC).
If you’re passionate about supporting fair, consistent, and high-quality entry-to-practice assessments, this opportunity is for you!
Why become an Examiner?
Make an impact: Item Developers play a key role in upholding the integrity and quality of Canada’s physiotherapy entry-to-practice assessments by developing high-quality assessment content aligned with national standards for safe and effective practice.
Support the profession: Your expertise will help ensure that assessment content is relevant, defensible, and aligned with current physiotherapy practice across Canada.
What you’ll develop:
Item Developers create content across CAPR’s different assessments, including:
- Multiple-choice questions for the credentialling program’s Physiotherapy Evaluation Tool.
- Media-enhanced multiple-choice questions, including standalone and vignette-based questions, for the Written Section of the Canadian Physiotherapy Examination.
- Cases for the Oral Section of the Canadian Physiotherapy Examination.
Professional growth: Item Developers engage in training, independent and iterative content writing, and collaborative review activities with peers from across the country, strengthening skills in clinical reasoning, assessment design, and standards-based decision-making.
Time commitment:
Item development work is completed on an ongoing basis, with assignments and timelines provided by CAPR. Time commitment varies depending on the scope of assigned work and participation in group review meetings, but is generally approximately 10–20 hours per month, including time for research, writing, review, and participation in meetings.
Compensation:
Item Developers are compensated on a per-item basis for assessment content approved for inclusion in CAPR’s item banks. Compensation ranges from $50 to $450 per item, depending on the type of content developed. Item Developers are also compensated for participation in group review meetings, in accordance with CAPR’s established rates and processes.
Who we’re looking for:
- Licensed physiotherapists from across Canada.
- Individuals who thrive in work that requires attention to detail, accuracy, and consistency, and who are comfortable receiving and incorporating regular, constructive feedback through iterative review processes.
- Individuals who are comfortable working independently on research and writing tasks, as well as collaborating with peers.
