Who is eligible to be a surveyor?
Surveyors have current experience as senior health service professionals and are currently employed by an organization that is accredited, or in the process of being accredited, by Accreditation Canada. They are knowledgeable about the Canadian health care system, and have excellent communication, interpersonal and analytical skills.
Core competencies
Accreditation Canada has identified a set of core competencies that are required of surveyors. These core competencies are used as the basis for recruiting new surveyors and in assessing ongoing surveyor performance.
What is the time commitment?
Surveyors attend an initial orientation program and continue upgrading their knowledge with two to three days of Accreditation Canada-sponsored continuing education programs each year. Surveyors must participate in surveys for a minimum of two weeks each year. Some preparation time is also required prior to surveys, as well as travel time depending on the survey location.
