Nurse Practitioner Examination


​​Get involved! Consider joining a BCCNM committee

We're always accepting applications. To complement our existing members, more nurses, midwives and members of the public are needed.​​




The Nurse Practitioner Examination Committee (NPEC) provides oversight for the development of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and scores the OSCE, which is a requirement for registration as a practising nurse practitioner in B.C.

Overv​​iew

NPEC membership includes seven nurse practitioner registrants, two registrants of a non-nursing HPA-regulated profession who have an OSCE as a registration requirement, and one member of the public. Appointment terms are one, two, or three years. A person can serve on the NPEC for up to six consecutive years.

Comm​​itment

This committee meets approximately two to four times a year for full-day or half-day meetings. NPEC members should be prepared to attend all regularly scheduled meetings in addition to an annual orientation.

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
