NOTICE

The Program continues to receive an unprecedented volume of applications following the College’s bylaw amendments last year.

To ensure your application is reviewed in the most timely and effective way possible, PRA-BC has implemented a phased application review process:

1. PRA-BC is focusing their reviews on complete expressions of interest submitted prior to January 31, 2026: A complete expression of interest requires that you create an HMBC account AND upload a current CV.

2. Expressions of interest submitted after January 31, 2026, will be placed in the queue and reviewed at a future date to be determined.

Application documents are only accepted via your Health Match BC (HMBC) account. Documents submitted by applicants via email, in an effort to expedite their review, will not be accepted.  

Please also note:  

• Any HMBC account that is missing a current CV will not be considered complete: We will not place your application in the queue for review until you upload your current CV to your HMBC account.

• Complete expressions of interest will be reviewed in order of being received and within the dates determined by PRA-BC.

• Expressions of interest submitted before January 31, 2026 that were incomplete or no longer active will not be reviewed. To be added to the queue, applicants must submit a complete expression of interest through their HMBC account.
