No shirt, no shoes, no CME—but off-hours are all yours. The CMPA calls physician well-being "the missing quality of care indicator" because it so powerfully predicts patient outcomes. Physician, recharge yourself! 

Lead instructor Greg Dubord, MD is the CME Director of CBT Canada, and the prime developer of medical CBT. He has presented over 500 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 completed his CBT training under the founder, Dr. Aaron T. Beck. He has taught in all Canadian provinces and territories, and in over a dozen countries. 

CBT Canada has given over 100 workshops in collaboration with most Canadian medical schools, including Dalhousie, McGill, McMaster, Memorial, Queen's, UofA, UBC, UofC, Université de Montréal, UofS, University of Toronto, and Western (UWO).

CBT Canada won the National CME Program Award from the CFPC for providing "exceptional learning experiences". CBT Canada was also the first organization to be authorized by the CFPC to provide three-credits-per-hour CME. One accreditation reviewer wrote, "Two words: superlative & exemplary".

Many physician leaders have been trained by CBT Canada over the past 25 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.

Iberostar is a Spanish hotelier specializing in five-star properties. In the Mayan Riviera, Iberostar has an acclaimed "5-in-1" resort complex. Conveniently, all five "sub-resorts" are an easy walk (or free shuttle, if you prefer) to the central conference facilities. So choose your sub-resort (e.g., Maya or Grand) based only on your vacation needs:

Travelling solo? All-in single prices for a one-week getaway (January 20-27) are as follows: Maya ($2,100) and Grand Hotel Paraiso ($2,970). Those figures include return airfare from Toronto, all taxes, and a heck of a lot of fun.  

The airport experience matters when you travel a lot, and we're very happy with Cancun International. CUN's Terminal 4, which opened in October 2017, has a multitude of shops, cafés & restaurants... and it's more modern & efficient than many American airports. 

You're nearly there! Part of the appeal of the Iberostar complex is its proximity to the airport. Taking under 30 minutes on a very modern 4-lane highway, the ground transfer time is a fraction of that of many other all-inclusives.

WiFi is ubiquitous at the Iberostar. Whether you're enjoying a quiet espresso under a palm tree or watching the kids at the splash pad, you have the option of maintaining your digital life (e.g., posting beach photos). 

Art thou gym-y? If so, you'll be pleased to know that the Iberostar just opened up a massive new indoor (i.e., air conditioned) fitness center in February 2018. It's got all the bells, dumbbells, and whistles you'd expect in our happy modern era.

Mexico offers superb value compared to many other Caribbean destinations. Why? The Canadian dollar is strong against the peso, but weak against the American dollar, which is the de facto currency on most of the Caribbean islands.  

Maybe it will be different this January. 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 January 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.  XXXXXXXXXXXXX    

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. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
