Withdrawing
What to do if you no longer want to take the TDM Examination.
If you are certain you no longer want to take the Therapeutics Decision-Making (TDM) Examination, you may request to withdraw your application.
There are different steps to follow depending on whether you have already scheduled your TDM Examination appointment with Prometric.
If you have not scheduled your exam appointment, you can withdraw your TDM Examination application by sending a message in your physiciansapply.ca account with the subject line Withdrawal – Therapeutics Decision-Making Examination.
If you have already scheduled your exam appointment, you must first cancel your appointment directly with Prometric.
