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-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 directorsand even a few doctors who are comfortable using drills & saws.

No shirt, no shoes, no CME. However, what you do during non-CME hours 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! 

CBT Dominican will be hosted February 11-13, 2019 at the fabulous Iberostar 4-in-1 complex in Punta Cana. Workshop hours are only 8:00AM to 12:15PM on all three days, leaving you free afternoons & evenings to rest, relax & play.

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

Head instructor Greg Dubord, MD is nicely broken-in after giving over 500 CBT workshops, and a University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year.

Can't make CBT for Anxiety in Punta Cana in February? No worries! CBT for Anxiety is held in Punta Cana every three years. And if you can't hang in there until winter 2022, there are many other terrific locations

Iberostar's 4-in-1 complex in Punta Cana

NOTE: This is NOT a standard all-inclusive. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is for you to act fast if you plan on joining us. Every year this resort completely sells out (e.g., last year it was TWO MONTHS before the workshop). 

Iberostar is a Spanish hotelier specializing in five-star properties, and one of the top all-inclusive resort chains in the world.

 

The Grand Hotel Bavaro is the adults-only area of Iberostar's acclaimed four-resort complex in Punta Cana. It's rated #1 out of 113 hotels in Punta Cana, and #2 out of 439 hotels in the entire Dominican Republic. For a limited time only, we are were able to offer 7-night Grand packages for $6,889. SORRY: The Grand has been 100% sold out since October.  



The Bavaro Suites are the 2nd most luxurious on the Iberostar property. All-in pricing for a 7-night Bavaro Suites package is a very reasonable $5,058 per couple. For those travelling solo, an all-in 7-night package is $3,029. Those figures are based upon a one-week getaway (February 9-16, 2019), including return airfare from Toronto, all taxes, and a heck of a lot of fun. 

 

If you're on a budget, choose from the other two resorts within the Iberostar complex: the Punta Cana or the Dominicana. Both resorts are also all-inclusive and situated along the white beach & turquoise waters of Playa Bavaro. The choice is entirely yours... both "sub-resorts" are an easy walk to the central conference facilities (map)

Number One. The Dominican Republic was the most popular Caribbean island destination in 2016 with 4.3 million visitors, followed by Puerto Rico (3.0), Cuba (2.7), Jamaica (2.0), and the Bahamas (1.3).

Escape the February blahs

The reality of February hits the doctor

Maybe it will be different this February. Maybe you'll emerge from your Christmas "break" energized. And maybe this winter's weather will be amazing. But what are the odds?

 

What's more likely is that a planned February getaway would do you good (and indirectly, your patients too). What's also likely is that if you book today instead of last-minute, you'll snap up your preferred travel times & suite selections while saving a good bit of money.

 

Give your lucky loved one(s) a restorative post-Christmas getaway. Give yourself immunity to the craziness of Christmas—and to the upcoming winter weather. Book today.     

The penalty for procrastination

A tardy chief

We work with some truly first-class venues (e.g., the Iberostar) which deservedly sell out many months in advance. Unfortunately, some doctors share traits with mere mortals, including the tendency to procrastinate. Regrettably, even the most strident cries of "Do you know who I am?" cannot secure the Chief of Staff (or any other Minor Deity) the best flights and a prime suite when the snowplows are already out. You owe it to yourself and your family to book early. How early? Those who've learned their lessons and take vacations seriously snap up the prime options a year or more in advance. That's just how it is. Book today.     

Booking instructions

Book today by connecting with our awesome Arlene at (877) 466-8228 x 333 or vacation@cbt.ca. There's no extra charge if you book c/o Arlene, and she'll also take care of the CME registration for you (otherwise you'll need to register yourself here). 

 

Most guests are staying for the week of Sunday, February 10. However, feel free to book whatever vacation duration you wish (i.e., 5, 8, 10, or 14 days), as long as your dates include the CME dates of Monday, February 11 to Wednesday, February 13. Note that if you choose to stay outside of Iberostar's 4-in-1 complex, you'll get dinged with a $60 USD/d "resort access fee" to get into the conference center.
