Medical CBT Training

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). 

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).

Testimonials

  1. Specific & clear points... very practical... well worth the time… CBT should be core training for all physicians. —Peter MacKean, MD, FCFP, President, College of Family Physicians of Canada
  2. Pithy pearls... my work in the clinic would have been way easier if I'd had this training back in medical school. —Johanna Murphy, MD, FRCPC, Director, General Internal Medicine Fellowship, Queen's University School of Medicine
  3. I wish I’d had this training at the start of my medical practice—it would have saved me much headache & heartache.

  4. When family doctors ask me how to help patients rely less on opioids, I always steer them to these workshops—these are essential skills for working with patients in pain. —Lori Montgomery, MD, FCFP, Medical Director, Chronic Pain Centre, University of Calgary
  5. 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.
