This CME respects your time. This workshop is certified at the highest level (three-credits-per-hour) by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Our 3:1 CME saves you an incredible amount of time (and therefore money) over 1:1 CME. Just have a look at the five-year benefit calculations.
Many physician leaders have been trained by CBT Canada over the past twenty years. Alumni include CFPC presidents (both national & provincial), department chairs, residency training program directors—and even a few doctors who are comfortable using drills & saws. For a compilation of testimonials, click here.
CBT Banff will be held Wednesday, July 15 to Friday, July 17 at the beautiful Rimrock Resort. Workshop hours are 8:00AM to 12:15PM, leaving you free during afternoons & evenings to explore Banff township and Banff National Park.
The CME is the three-credits-per-hour CBT Tools module (12.0 hours / 36.0 Mainpro+ credits). Join us and you'll learn a multitude of ultra-brief CBT techniques to make your work much easier with both medical and psychiatric patients (cases).
Head instructor Greg Dubord, MD is limber like a monkey from giving over 500 workshops, and a University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year. Assistant faculty includes Lori Montgomery, MD, FCFP, Medical Director of the Calgary Chronic Pain Center, and one of Canada's leading authorities on CBT for pain.
Vacation CME has many advantages over local CME. See what your colleagues are saying, and explore the case for it being four-credit-per-hour CME.
No shirt, no shoes, no CME. However, what you do after 12:15PM each day is up to you. The CMPA now refers to physician well-being as "the missing quality of care indicator", because it so powerfully predicts patient outcomes. Physician, recharge yourself!
Can't make the CBT Tools module in Banff this upcoming July? No worries! CBT Tools is held in Banff every three years. And if you can't hang in there until July 2023, there are many other great locations.
"Terrific workshop... 'spot on' relevant... engaging & enthusiastic... high impact professionally & personally... I will definitely be back for more."

A sign of summer in beautiful Banff
Banff is sublime in the summer and accommodation is limited, so please don't delay in reserving. The Rimrock Resort is one of the top hotels in Banff, and it always sells out months in advance. Don't end up on a cot in the stairwell!
