This CME respects your time. CBT Canada workshops are 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. 

Aloha! CBT Maui will be held at the spectacular Sheraton Maui on the world-class Kāʻanapali Beach from March 23-25, 2020. Workshop hours are 8:00AM to 12:15PM on the Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, leaving you free all other times to explore the beautiful island of Maui. 

The 12.0 hour workshop is the acclaimed "triple strength" CBT for Depression module, accredited for 36.0 Mainpro+ credits by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Please join us in magical Maui and you'll gain a plethora of ultra-brief techniques to help your patients defeat depression and be happy. General interest topics covered include procrastination, perfectionism, rumination, self-criticism, self-handicapping, letting go of the past, decision-making, and evidence-based marital enrichment.

Head instructor Greg Dubord, MD is a recent University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year and is nicely warmed up after giving over 500 CBT workshops. Seasoned assistant faculty includes Peter Duffy, MD, CCFM(EM), FCFP, Co-Director of the CMCBT Program and uOttawa child psychiatrist Helen Spenser, MSW, MD, CCFP, FRCPC, one of Canada's leading authorities on CBT for depression in children & adolescents.

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.

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

Can't make the CBT for Depression module in Maui this winter? No worries! The CBT for Depression module is held in Maui every three years. And if you can't hang in there until winter 2023, just choose another great location! 

A very enjoyable workshop, and highly impactful.

We agonize. How can we stress the importance of registering early without sounding pushy? Please consider this fact: during absolutely every one of our past seven years at the Sheraton Maui (2013-2019), our entire room block was sold out well in advance... and we're sold out again this year (i.e., for March 2020).  

Although there are some rooms still available outside our block, they're very pricey (link)... so you may want to explore nearby alternatives. As long as you can make it to the Sheraton’s Napili Ballroom by 8AM on Monday, March 23, 2020 then all will be well. Non-Sheraton options include tenting on Hale’akala (so you can watch the sunrise every morning), sleeping on the beach in Hana (so you can observe hippies in their natural environment), and staying at another Ka’anapali Beach hotel like the Marriott, Westin, and Hyatt (all within walking distance, depending on your legs). Many resorts are sensibly booked as part of Air Canada or WestJet packages. Feel free!

If you'd like a complete travel package (Sheraton or non-Sheraton) put together for you (at no extra charge), then connect with our Awesome Arlene at 877.466.8228 x 333 or email her at vacation@cbt.ca.  

Powerfully useful tools for patient care—and for self-care.

Maui

Maui has been voted Best Island in the World by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler for an extraordinary 23 consecutive years—and it's again the TripAdvisor Top Island in Hawaii. Here are some of the reasons:

Speaking Hawaiian is easy if you happen to speak Ta'hitian, from which it is derived. However, if you're a haole with a native tongue of English or French, you may not know a pupu from a humuhumunukunukuapua'a (although they can be one in the same). Hawaiian Words may save your okole.
