National Training Standards Approved for AFC in Neuromuscular Medicine
We’re pleased to announce that the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada has granted final approval for the National Training Standards for the Area of Focused Competence (AFC) in Neuromuscular Medicine!
This landmark decision marks a major step forward for the neuromuscular community across Canada, paving the way for program accreditation and enhanced clinical training opportunities.
We are also thrilled to share that Dr. Erin O’Ferrall will chair the new AFC committee within the Royal College.
We extend our sincere thanks to all contributors — special thanks to Dr. Hernan Gonorazky and Dr. Erin O’Ferrall — whose dedication and expertise made this milestone possible.
With this approval, PGME offices can now apply for Royal College accreditation to offer AFC training programs. This follows the discipline’s initial recognition in 2022.
