Medical CBT Training
three-credits-per-hour workshops | register early to save $200
Why train in medical CBT?
Medical CBT is a streamlined adaptation of cognitive behavior therapy for ten-minute medical visits. Physicians trained in medical CBT enjoy lower stress, improved patient outcomes, and greater job satisfaction (reports). Choose the option that works best for you:
1. An introductory workshop (not required)
2. A broad PsychUpdate (30 papers in 3 hours)
3. An in-depth module (12 topics; order flexible)
Whatever path you choose, you'll learn to provide better psychological care within your routine appointments —while earning three-credits-per-hour. All workshops have earlybird deadlines. Register now to save $200.
Keeners may wish to commit to a Certificate in Medical CBT (CMCBT) or a one-year Fellowship in Medical CBT (FMCBT). CBT Canada also provides a customizable series of in-house workshops (e.g., Happiness Science, SuperDoc, Teen CBT).

- Although we tend to think of CBT as an important therapeutic tool in family practice, I have found it to be extremely helpful in the ED environment as well.
