Background

Members of the Item Development Committee (IDC) are responsible for developing content for the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators' (CAPR) entry-to-practice assessments. These include the credentialling evaluation tool and the entry-to-practice licensure examination.

IDC members play a crucial role in ensuring the quality, fairness, and relevance of the items used to assess the competence of individuals who are entering the physiotherapy profession in Canada.


An IDC member is an individual who is willing to volunteer and
  • participate in the development of written and oral items for entry-to-practice assessments,
  • is comfortable using technology (e.g., Microsoft Word, Microsoft Teams, Zoom),
  • is willing to work to produce the established item writing targets,
  • understands, and adheres to, the strict confidentiality requirements to maintain the integrity of entry-to-practice assessments.

Experienced physiotherapists who work in all areas of practice are welcome to apply. CAPR aims to ensure that the composition of IDC reflects the diversity of the physiotherapy profession across Canada by ensuring representation in terms of geographical regions, clinical expertise, practice settings, and professional experience.

CAPR offers an annual honorarium to those who are selected to participate.
