3. Activation of the AFC Program

Activation status by the Royal College is granted after the program accepts its first learner with a confirmed start date and reports this to the Royal College through PGME. Please follow these steps to proceed:

According to Royal College criteria, all newly accredited programs must undergo an External Review by the Royal College within 24 months of activation. Since a comprehensive Internal Review will have already been conducted at the university level, the program may only need to address any final comments or notes before the Royal College’s External Review. The PGME Accreditation team will assist with these preparations.
