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 5-year benefit calculations.
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.
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.
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!
The 10th Annual CBT Blue Mountain will be held July 2-4, 2020 at the state-of-the-art Blue Mountain Conference Centre. Workshop hours are 8:00AM to 12:15PM on each of the three days, leaving you & your family free in the afternoons and evenings to play.
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 recent University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year. Assistant faculty includes Hima Murty, MD, FCFP.
