ABSTRACT: Background: epilepsy is a common medical condition for which physicians perform driver fitness assessments. the Canadian Medical association (CMa) and the Canadian Council of Motor transportation administrators (CCMta) publish documents to guide Canadian physicians’ driver fitness assessments. Objectives: We aimed to measure the consistency of driver fitness counseling among epileptologists in Canada, and to determine whether inconsistencies between national guidelines are associated with greater variability in counseling instructions. Methods: We surveyed 35 epileptologists in Canada (response rate 71%) using a questionnaire that explored physicians’ philosophies about driver fitness assessments and counseling practices of seizure patients in common clinical scenarios. of the nine scenarios, CCMta and CMa recommendations were concordant for only two. Cumulative agreement for all scenarios was calculated using Kappa statistic. agreement for concordant (two) vs. discordant (seven) scenarios were split at the median and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank sum test. Results: overall the agreement between respondents for the clinical scenarios was not acceptable (Kappa=0.28). for the two scenarios where CMa and CCMta guidelines were concordant, specialists had high levels of agreement with recommendations (89% each). a majority of specialists disagreed with CMa recommendations in three of seven discordant scenarios. the lack of consistency in respondents’ agreement attained statistical significance (p
