FPM fellows who practise pain medicine procedures can apply to have their practice endorsed without having to complete the supervised clinical experience program.

Our purpose and vision for the college inform our strategic plan, which guides our college-wide business activity.

Reporting to the Training and Assessment Executive Committee, the Examination Committee oversees the governance and implementation of FPM exams.
