The Assessment Verification Period (AVP) is an assessment process for international medical graduates (IMGs) admitted into the Ministry of Health funded postgraduate residency training programs. The purpose of the AVP is to ensure the IMG meets the competencies necessary to function at their designated training level. The AVP occurs concurrently with training and residents will be exposed to the goals and objectives of the given speciality during the assessment period. IMGs must successfully complete the AVP in order to continue in their postgraduate education program.
