The national repository for post-M.D. education data

CAPER — the Canadian Post-M.D. Education Registry — was established in 1986 through the co-operation of national medical organizations with an interest in the post-M.D. clinical education of physicians in Canada.

CAPER is incorporated within the by-laws of the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada, with the mandate to provide accurate information for medical workforce planning on a national basis. To accomplish this, an individual longitudinal file is maintained for every trainee in the Canadian postgraduate system.
