Licensing and Registration
Assessment of Curriculum Vitae
As a first step in the application process, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Newfoundland and Labrador will review the credentials of physicians who are interested in practicing medicine in the province.
In order for the College to review a physician’s credentials, he or she must submit a curriculum vitae to the College and pay the appropriate fee.
- The fee for this service is CDN$100.00. The College accepts payment by VISA, MasterCard or by cheque.
- Click here to print the curriculum vitae form (pdf).
Once the College has received both the curriculum vitae and the fee, the College will complete the assessment and promptly notify the applicant of the results. Individuals who appear to meet the licensing requirements will receive a copy of the College application form.
Physicians may submit curriculum vitae without using the form. To submit a written CV without using the College form, please include the following information:
