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.
Overview
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.
