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.

CBT Hong Kong will be held at the Sheraton Hong Kong on Monday, August 14, 2017. Workshop hours are 9:00AM to 4:30PM. A catered lunch is included.

The CME is the acclaimed Ten-Minute CBT workshop, which reviews high-impact tools for busy physicians. "Good enough" CBT can be integrated into ten-minute primary care appointments. In this six-hour crash course, Dr. Greg Dubord will teach you the essentials of a skill that may fundamentally change how you deal with mental health issues. The flexible medical CBT tools you'll learn can be very helpful in dealing with major depression, persistent depression (“dysthymia” until DSM-5), chronic worry, chronic pain, panic disorder, non-compliance, substance abuse, and much more.

1. Learn to break patients away from their "empathy addictions"

2. Learn to structure ten-minute appointments to maximize impact

3. Learn the vital importance of not working harder than most patients

Head instructor Greg Dubord, MD is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, and the prime developer of medical CBT. He has presented over 400 workshops, including over 50 for the College of Family Physicians of Canada, and is a University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year. Dr. Dubord is the CPD Director for CBT Canada, which received the National CPD Program Award from the College of Family Physicians of Canada for providing "exceptional learning experiences”.
