Three important and interrelated areas are delineated: 1) the role of mandatory certification in Canada versus voluntary certification in the United States; 2) the differing emphasis of neurology and the medical model in the two exam procedures; and 3) the effect of the speciality exam on professional development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Compulsory certification in Canada has the potential to steer candidates in a direction that may not be immediately consonant with career plans and population needs. On the other hand, the American Board examination by its optional character does not seem to reach a large percentage of psychiatrists, an issue that has implications for the education of medical professionals. The ambiguity of the American Board's quasi-public position is portrayed. Competence in neurology appears as a distinct area for evaluation in the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology examination. The emphasis on neurology in the Canadian Royal College exam is less marked. These issues lead to a discussion of psychiatry in Canada as a discipline in its own right as contrasted to the mixed loyalties to neurology and psychotherapy perceived in the American system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Finally, this paper sheds light on how the certification examination of both countries plays an important role in the passage to full professional status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/070674378202700511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,26]],"date-time":"2017-04-26T04:49:47Z","timestamp":1493182187000},"page":"415-418","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The
