Thank you to all our participants who attended the Family Medicine Exam Prep Course in Hamilton. We are excited to see so many of you join our fall classes. Several of you have requested we continue to post more practice SAMPs, so here you go!
Just a reminder… pay attention to the questions. Here are our general tips one more time:
We have some big news! CCFP increased the number of priority topics – the exam will now include 105 instead of 99 topics. Yes, you read it correctly…105 topics! The additional 6 topics are: Chronic Pain, Rash, Renal Failure, Shortness of Breath, Heart Failure and Pain.
DO NOT WORRY! The FMEP Team has already added the new required topics to the course and we will address each key feature. We will continue to provide you with helpful resources, blogs, and SAMPs to prepare you for the exam based on the updated requirements.
As always, feel free to reach out to our team at info@familymedexamprep.com if you have any questions. If there is a specific topic you want us to cover, just send it over an email and we will work on it!
Have a wonderful day!

We wanted to check-in with you during this chaotic time. Now, more than ever, protecting your mental health and well-being is critical. We thought we could send over some helpful non-CCFP related resources to help you, your kids, and/or your pets during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We also have heard from many of you asking if we will offer a course closer to the new proposed CCFP exam date (CCFP Exam Information) … based on this tentative date we have decided to hold a course in September 2020. Many of you have emailed to reserve a spot, and we will ensure your name is included in our list.
We will continue to create blogs, SAMPs, and provide helpful resources to prepare you for the exam. If you have not done so already, email us at info@familymedexamprep.com with your FULL NAME and indicate that you would like to reserve your spot on our pre-registration list as spaces will be limited.
As always, if there is a specific topic you want us to write a blog about, just send over an email and we will work on it!
