Requirements for Associate in the Canadian Board of Occupational Medicine (ACBOM) Examination Candidates

No specific work experience is required for eligibility. The candidate obtains ACBOM status by successfully taking a written examination which tests occupational medicine principles and knowledge based on a syllabus and occupational medicine bibliography. This is not an easy examination and applicants are encouraged to take occupational medical training for example through a distance learning program, a diploma, a fellowship, or a master’s degree. Formal training is not required, though it improves the chances of success in the examination. All candidates require a medical degree acceptable to the Canadian Board of Occupational Medicine and a valid current license to practice medicine in any Canadian province or territory to sit any of the CBOM exams.

Applications are currently closed.

Registration for 2025 will close on May 31, 2025.
