The CME is the acclaimed three-credits-per-hour CBT for Anxiety module (you'll earn 36.0 Mainpro+ credits from just 12.0 workshop hours). Join us in Disney World and you’ll learn a marvellous set of ultra-brief techniques to help patients overcome shyness, worry, panic & other common anxiety disorders.

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. 

Vacation CME has many advantages over local CME. See what your colleagues are saying, and explore the case for it being four-credits-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 entirely up to you. The CMPA now refers to physician well-being as "the missing quality of care indicator", because it powerfully predicts patient outcomes. Physician, recharge yourself! 

Disney World has nearly-ubiquitous free WiFi. With the free My Disney Experience mobile app you can get directions on a GPS-enabled map; get wait times for all attractions & character meetings; buy park tickets; browse menus & make reservations; share plans with family & friends; select & modify your party’s FastPass+ experiences; etc.

Star Wars Land (SWL) is now open! Formally known as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the $1 billion, 14 acre expansion was arguably the most anticipated park expansion in Disney history. The setting for SWL is the trading post planet of Batuu, located in the Outer Rim of the Unknown Regions. You & your family will join smugglers, bounty hunters, and rogue adventurers of the humanoid, alien, and droid varieties wandering down the streets of the Black Spire Outpost. Embark on a top secret mission aboard the fastest ship in the galaxy on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Join an epic battle on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the biggest & most immersive attraction Disney has ever created! Finally, wander into Oga’s Cantina to unwind, tell your tales, and enjoy a beverage (e.g., blue milk) amongst some of the most interesting and notorious characters in the galaxy. For a SWL video overview, click here. 

Toy Story Land opened at Disney World's Hollywood Studios in June 2018. You & your kids will “shrink” to the size of a toy and join Woody, Jessie, Buzz, and the other beloved toys in Andy’s $100M USD, 11 acre backyard. Take a ride on Slinky Dog Dash, a roller coaster assembled from Andy's Mega Coaster Play Kit. Go for a spin on the Alien Swirling Saucers, a galactic play set Andy won from Pizza Planet. Walk through a new carnival game box to experience the expanded 3D Toy Story Mania! Toy Story Land is a major new addition to Hollywood Studios, and is sure to be a hit with younger children (of all ages!). 

Pandora – The World of Avatar is the latest addition to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The themed area, based on Canadian James Cameron’s award-winning film and its long-anticipated sequels, opened in May 2017. Floating mountains, alien wildlife, and bioluminescent plants set the scene as you journey down the Kasvapan River and learn to fly with mountain Banshees. The 12 acre area features two major attractions: Avatar Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey. Dining options include Satu'li Canteen, a full-service restaurant, and Pongu Pongu, if time is short.  

The long-awaited Frozen Ever After ride opened at EPCOT's Norway Pavilion in June 2016. You'll arrive in Arendelle during the summer season, where the residents are celebrating the Winter Festival. After passing Wandering Oaken's Trading Post, you'll board your boat and meet Olaf and Sven. Grand Pabbie will tell the story of how Anna and Kristoff met, and then the boat will ascend to where Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf are enjoying the winter weather. You'll then see Queen Elsa in her ice palace, and Marshmallow and his mini-snowman friends (from Frozen Fever). You'll return to Arendelle through a cloud of mist and experience a fireworks finale with a send-off from Elsa, Anna and their friends. 

Star Wars at Disney World's Hollywood Studios has been massively expanded, bringing you closer to the epic saga than ever before. Experience Star Wars Launch Bay & Tatooine Traders, Star Wars: The Adventures Continue (a 3D, motion-simulated journey), have photo-ops with Star Wars characters behind the scenes (including Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, and BB-8), and conclude your day with Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular (featuring state-of-the-art projection effects, lasers, and pyrotechnics lighting up the night sky). 

Might mommy & daddy need a babysitter to attend the workshop... or to have a little break? Kid's Night Out has been providing childcare services at Disney World since 1998. Ages 6 weeks to 18 years are welcome. Reservations are essential. 

Disney's Magical Express is a stress-busting (and free) convenience for Yacht Club Resort guests. A private motorcoach whisks you from Orlando Airport to the resort in about 30min. Even better, your bags (checked in as usual at your home airport) "magically" end up in your Yacht Club Resort room! Call (407) 939-1936 to reserve.
