CAPER vs OPRC Inclusion Criteria

CAPER (Canadian Post-MD Education Registry) and OPRC use the same November 1st census date for their annual reports, but there are differences in how it is applied.

OPRC

Only those PGY/residents and fellows who are in active training on November 1st are included. Trainees on any kind of leave on November 1st are excluded from the count; regardless of the duration of that leave.

CAPER

All PGY/residents and fellows who are in active training on the November 1st census date are counted PLUS all trainees who are registered in a training position on November 1st, but are absent on that day due to illness or a leave of absence for six months or less. https://caper.ca/
