Principal References and Resources
Each year, an update of the list is published on the website on the opening date of the
registration period. The Committee for the ExAC does not guarantee the availability of all
references and resources in bookstores. Some references are principal sources of content for
the exam. Other resources are identified and related to the ExAC learning objectives and help
complete the testing of professional competency. Some of the other resources listed may not
be available in both official languages of Canada. The ExAC has been developed to assess
the Interns’ competencies acquired during the Internship period.
