Physiotherapy Competency Examination (PCE) Overview The Physiotherapy Competency Examination (PCE) is developed by physiotherapy experts from across Canada to ensure the PCE reflects current physiotherapy practice found throughout Canada. The PCE is designed to evaluate essential knowledge, skills and abilities of physiotherapy practice. The examination covers the core clinical practice areas of muscouloskeletal, neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory. It is designed to evaluate skills including history taking, physical examination, data interpretation, clinical problem solving, treatment skills, ethics, safety, interviewing and communications. The PCE is comprised of two components: Written Component: Also known as the Qualifying Exam, the Written Component of the PCE is a multiple-choice written exam that evaluates your understanding of the principles and processes of physiotherapy practice including knowledge about essential physiotherapy skills, behaviours and abilities. Candidates must successfully complete the Written Component (Qualifying Exam) before advancing to the Clinical Component (Physiotherapy National Exam). Clinical Component: The Clinical Component of the PCE evaluates your knowledge and application of skills, behaviours and abilities by testing your understanding and performance of safe, effective application of the principles and processes of physiotherapy practice. Also known as the Physiotherapy National Exam, the clinical component involves 16 stations in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination format.
