CNAR’s 2022 Master Class Workshop will take a deep dive on equity, diversity, and inclusion, exploring what regulators are doing – and can do – for sustainable action beyond tokenism. The workshop will cover EDI from a governance and organizational perspective – EDI within regulatory bodies – and from a professional perspective.
The day will feature an inspiring keynote address, presentations from experts in EDI and regulatory bodies for a variety of professions from across Canada, the opportunity to engage in Q&A with presenters, interactive breakout discussions, and networking with fellow attendees.
The Fundamentals of Regulation Workshop will appeal to anyone who is seeking to learn more about professional regulation in the Canadian context. This compact – yet comprehensive – program is designed to provide attendees with content that is both practical and informative, featuring presentations from experts in their respective fields in regulation.
This hands-on skills-based workshop will address common stages of fitness to practise (FTP) or incapacity matters, taking participants from the initial stages of a matter through to its conclusion, with a particular focus on resolution strategies as well as how to distinguish between discipline and fitness to practise matters.

Have you ever wondered what goes into developing and administering a credentialing examination? Do you worry whether the candidates who pass your exam are truly competent? This is the crux of psychometrics and test development. Regulators in Canada have a statutory obligation to protect the public; the proper application of psychometric and test development principles is a vital component.

The workshop will appeal to anyone who is seeking to learn more about how unconscious bias influences decision-making and the best practices that can be adopted to address it.

Data forensics for exam security is the use of statistical trends and analytics to detect traces of fraudulent behavior. It has successfully been used to detect activity like proxy testing, item pre-knowledge, and exam site collusion. Attendees will be exposed to practical and proven statistical methods for identifying cheating behavior. While some of the methods will be complex and may require the assistance of a statistician, others will include simple steps that can be implemented as a first line of detection.
