Considerations of the Cultural-Communication, Legal, Ethical and Organizational Aspects of the Practice of Medicine (C2LEO)
The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) first published a set of assessment objectives called CLEO (Considerations of the Legal, Ethical and Organizational Aspects of the Practice of Medicine) in 1999. Since then, the CLEO Objectives have been updated to address the cultural and communication aspects of medical practice. The purpose of this addition is to identify behavioural benchmarks that assess a physician’s ability to practise in a Canadian context. Of necessity, this includes consideration of Canadian cultural and regional diversity.
The CLEO and C2LEO Objectives have been incorporated into the updated Medical Council of Canada Objectives for the Qualifying Examination. The CLEO and C2LEO Objectives can still be viewed independently of the Objectives for the Qualifying Examination until 2010, after which they will only be accessible through the Objectives.
