Canadian Clinical Biochemistry Syllabus

The Canadian Clinical Biochemistry Syllabus Committee, composed of CACB fellows from across the country, has been working together since 2022 to draft an updated Canadian Clinical Biochemistry syllabus. The core team of 22 CACB fellows have worked to develop a syllabus that meets the following objectives:

• Ensure that the syllabus reflects the roles, tasks, and competencies of a Clinical Biochemist
• Describe tasks and responsibilities of a Clinical Biochemist to emphasize the need to integrate and apply knowledge
• Categorize subject matter to clarify the depth of knowledge required for a Clinical Biochemist
• Update syllabus content to reflect the current state of clinical biochemistry

The draft syllabus has been reviewed by Fellows in training, the CACB Examinations Committee, and the Training Program Advisory Committee. The French translation has been reviewed by a team of bilingual Clinical Biochemists.

At this time, we are soliciting feedback via email on the syllabus from the broader community of CACB fellows to ensure it reflects the breadth of practice in Canada.

What types of feedback are you looking for?

Clarity errors, omissions, and grammatical errors.

How do I provide my feedback?

List the page number, section/line(s), and comment for your feedback.

Email your feedback to this address – info@cscc.ca – with the subject line “CACB syllabus feedback.” Any queries can also be directed to this email address.

What is the deadline?

October 31, 2025

All feedback will be reviewed and considered for inclusion in the syllabus.

Thank you.
